She nagged, in monologue,
Her wicked tongue aflame!
But I cared not – 
My homemade wine

Words meant so much to him too
The punchy lyric told you what to do
It was what he wanted to say
Instead of just wasting it anyway

What bollocks, yeah man
Here was where he made his stand
The solitary one in his plan
Too far now from where it began

Opening his old wounds
Too late to bind them he swoons
Just drag yourself on
March on singing your sad songs.

Listen to poem:

in a world of information overload
it's refreshing to be succinct
in a few words to pass a message so punchy
that it gives one cause for a pause

in a world where time is at a premium
it's appreciated to be respected
to share what one has to say with panache
and every word striking its mark

being sold on the notion that less is more
