Generally speaking

I have a friend with whom

My irritation is peaking

He starts every conversation

By saying 'Generally speaking'

 

I said to him 'Now listen

You have got me freaking

Stop saying 'Generally'

Start saying 'Privately speaking'

 

He said 'I don't understand

Why would I say 'Privately speaking?'

I'm not saying anything classified

Are you worried about it leaking?

 

I said 'In general, people like you don't get it
But, one day you'll have me to thank

A private must never question a general

You haven't yet reached that rank!'
