Michael Donald Doublespeak

Michael Donald Doublespeak Was a nasty sort of bloke Streams of contradictory things Came out as Michael spoke! From out of one side of his mouth He'd shower you with praise Telling folks how wonderful you are And how he's so amazed! The other side was opposite Spread rumours about your past Lying bout the things you did An evil unsurpassed! Hurt that's caused by doublespeak Can never be repaired Once those hurtful words are said They float out on the air! So don't you be a doublespeak Be kind to everyone You never know what evil lurks When two mouths speak from one! © Jack Ellison 2014

Dragon's sitting here thinking... How can he, a Super Hero, Stop Double speak? That should hold him stiil and keep him out of trouble FOREVER! You know how hard it is for him to think... LOL... So I'm going to get my second cup of morning coffee before I sit down to write. OOPPS! He heard me! Silly Dragon! Those were my BEST running shoes! Gotta go! Grandpa Troll says it's the Lake for us! Another time out. But that's OK. I have my computer in my back pack and coffee in my hand. I win, again!
