Inflections Are Key

Some things as spoken can hurt or appease The wording is crucial but inflections are key Saying something innocent Can be seen as villainous If the manner spoken causes a certain unease

Yes, even written words without the inflection can seem mean or off, they could hurt someone though unmeant to! I've done that before, and I hope not to do it again if I can help it! I only mean happiness within the Soup and joy! Just like your lovely write here my friend! I surely loved reading this fabulous and harmonious poem here this afternoon! What a grandiose piece, Great Work!!

My words can certainly misstep//When they do I feel like a schlepp//get red in the race//begin to pace//until I lose my pep. FLECT ON JACKSONIAN!!!
