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.

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.
