For More Effective Communication: Addendum

How do you think Scheherazady Would incorporate her body To spice up those tales and keep enticed That potentate? She would ges-tic-u-late. Aladdin could have faced disaster, But the djinn said to his master, "I've three wishes I can grant But can't articulate Lest you ges-tic-u-late." In ancient Greece Olympian Zeus Would turn his Titan anger loose, And lightning bolts he'd throw to show That how his wrath to demonstrate, He would ges-tic-u-late. Superheroes spend long hours Developing their special powers Of strength and speed that's unimpeded, So they wear costumes both for show and to facilitate When they ges--tic-u-late. So, let me say here, as I wind up, When you talk, just make your mind up, To enhance your speech and diction, Take a tip from folks in fiction, Make your conversation great And just ges-tic-u-late.
