Rambling On Mincing With Words

Rambling On Mincing With Words

chop, cut the small  words
don’t mince words; say what you mean
I don’t understand

speak clear and candid
there were plenty of poets 
mincing beyond doubt

blunt and outspoken
tell what you really think
squarely  and frankly

vodka ,rum , bourbon
mincing them all together
sick the next morning

playing with words - why
lawless is confusing as ?
as fools we believe
