Euphemisms
She didn't die; she passed away.
He isn't fat, just large.
She isn't mean and nasty;
She just likes to be in charge.
The play we saw was int'resting.
The meal we had - okay.
So much is hidden in each message
That we do convey.
And that is why I understand
So well when I am told
That I am looking tired;
What it translates to is OLD!
