Aforethought
I have always been reticent
to speak too much.
Blathering out loud is as
leaning on a crutch.
Better too little, too late,
than too much, too soon.
Speak sparsely and plainly
what you mean to say.
And if poetry be involved,
make it a gift you give away!
Always think things and thoughts through.
And if you do decide to give it away,
Do it today!
Do not wait.
Not too little, too late.
But make it the best
you can do.
