WORDS, WORDS, WORDS
I am just words
how many did I speak yesterday?
today is making demands on me
what should I say
but about the same words
with some variations-- subtract there, add here?
my words appear quicker than I can think
Oh dear, oh dear!
I am not a robot or automaton
I am human--I should not be mechanistic
but words rule my life and are tyrannous
they know too many a cunning trick
I must study my words-bank
delete what has made me a fool
a new vocabulary I should acquire
like a little child starting school.
