This was originally called "Words Can Be," I just had to change the title for the 'Rattling Rhyme' contest -
Words can be whimsical, a merry-go-round They run in a circle, they bounce up and down They play hide-and-seek, until they are found Look how quickly the little ones grow! Words can seduce like a scandalous dance They'll perplex the complex, if given a chance They're as sincere as England, as sexy as France As reckless as the caution they throw Words can get tipsy if taken too much The pretentious go on-and-on about such-and-such The brutish ones can bail you out in a clutch The foolhardy don't know they don't know Words can be tacky, tongue wagging gabs Words can be lavish and leave you the tab Words can covertly steal and grab Their smile is only for show Words can impulsively issue a dare Words can react with extravagant flair But words must always be handled with care When timing's too slow, for words on the go Look how quickly the little ones grow! As reckless as the caution they throw The foolhardy don't know they don't know Their smile is only for show When timing's too slow For words on the go- 8/7/18
