Picking Bones with Sticks and Stones




No sticks and no stones
E’er have broken our bones.
Barbaric such tactics would be.


But what sort of hell
Comes in as a yell?
What manner of snit
Does sputter and spit?
What fool won’t admit
The words ne’er legit?
And who will permit
Such a folly unfit?

The most grievous groans
Leave unwelcome unknowns.
Instead, they bring harm’s guarantee.
