Better In a Letter

It is better,
In a letter,
To your mind unfetter:
Your claims of being a pace-setter,
And a neglected go-getter.

Better in a letter,
Your tears make wetter,
A former switch with a latter,
The slimmer present as the fatter;

Better in a letter,
To disclose that one is a waiter,
And to another his hater:
Better in a letter.
