Michael Donald Doublespeak

Michael Donald Doublespeak
Was a nasty sort of bloke
Streams of contradictory things 
Came out as Michael spoke!

From out of one side of his mouth
He'd shower you with praise
Telling folks how wonderful you are
And how he's so amazed!
 
The other side was opposite
Spread rumours about your past
Lying bout the things you did
An evil unsurpassed!

Hurt that's caused by doublespeak
Can never be repaired
Once those hurtful words are said
They float out on the air!

So don't you be a doublespeak
Be kind to everyone
You never know what evil lurks
When two mouths speak from one!

By the title, I knew this one was going to be an interesting one - a fantastic one!! It carries another priceless message, to truly be careful what we say to people. Really enjoyed reading this one. Always, Laura

Always attempt to decipher what people are REALLY saying! At times we need to read between the lines to understand! Love, Jack xxx
