Say what you mean

Mean what you say.

Oh, how fond you are of

beating around the bush -

of treading warily.

How weary that has become.

*

I'm asking you to

Say it straight.

No more hemming and hawing

No more evading the subject.

Say what you mean

Mean what you say.

No more pussyfooting around.

No more delays.

Say it straight.
