Communicative Wordplay Ettiquette
Thunderous voices
always competing to be heard
embarrassing, frail, shy moments
and the same voice utters not, a word;
the tools we all use in communicating
can be as "flighty" as a bird.
Examples, metaphors and parables
are spoken qualities to make one think
having little or no reigns on one's vocal style
can cause opinions of you that really "stink"!
lending nearly all that you say to be "suspect"
while announcing that your caliber is, "rinky dink"!
If one truly valued their loved ones,
they'd take focus and care in what they'd send
but a lack of effort or even a lack of finesse
could birth a message no one could comprehend.
On the other hand, unbridled emotions
and loose lips, could cost a dear friend.
Conceptive ambiguousity
always throws too many meanings in the way,
lending everything you've ever said, "suspect"
but doubting you ever had anything to say.
Bottom line, be aware communication's etiquette,
so you don't trip and fall over your own wordplay !
