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!

You know how hard it is for him to think... LOL... So I'm going to get my second cup of morning coffee before I sit down to write. OOPPS! He heard me! Silly Dragon! Those were my BEST running shoes! Gotta go! Grandpa Troll says it's the Lake for us! Another time out. But that's OK. I have my computer in my back pack and coffee in my hand. I win, again!
