Short

keep it short ...

  lest the wind drowns out your words


  keep it short ...

  lest nobody is listening


  keep it short ...

  lest utterances clutter up


  keep it short ...

  lest your words are scarce


  keep it short ...

  lest your wisdom wanes


  keep it short ...

  lest your feelings fail to engage


  keep it short ...

  lest time or space runs out


  keep it short ...

  lest already you have gone on too long


  keep it short ... !
