Some say fast and some say slow
Some say hide and some say show
Some say stop and some say go
Some say dam and some say flow
Some say dark and some say glow
Some say gun and some say bow
Some say to and some say fro
Some say jay and some say crow
But whichever side you choose,
Make certain you don't misuse
Words, they're gifts unto our lips
They can also bruise and whip
So make sure your lips don't slip!

Better days are on the way, my friend, just a ways on down the line.
I believe that just around the bend, everythings gonna be fine...

Charming little poem you have here. A touch of comidy with a valuable lesson in these words. Thanks for sharing.

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face...

William Butler Yeats
