Spit It Out
Would you just spit out what you're trying to say!
Stop sounding like a jackass, hee hawing a bray.
Sugar coating words won't make them sound sweeter,
and don't even try to recite them in rhyme and meter.
You keep babbling words. It's foolish procrastination.
Stuttering "B b b b...but B b b b...Baby" in hesitation.
Minced words are stumbling and fumbling from you.
Hinting with utter nonsense is what you always do.
I don't have the time or the patience to wait around
while you stammer in the most annoying sounds.
Tongue tied and afraid you'll say something wrong?
I'm not mincing words in telling you goodbye, so long.
