About the Words Men Say

The man of just enough words is a pleasure, The man of just the right words is a treasure, The man of great words is a man to inspire, The man of no words from the heart is a liar, The man of commands has a craving to lead, The man of sarcastic asides is a weed, The man of demands is abrasive and loud, The man of pure vitriol inflames the crowd, The man of the words that deduce is a sleuth, The man of all four letter words is uncouth, The man of vague words is so hard to perceive, The man of sly words is one sworn to deceive, The man of stock phrases is lacking in passion, The man of cliches is a slave to each fashion, The man of quick words to excuse is a faker, The man of the words we need most is our Maker.
