Sing Me Nothing Wrong
Sharp, cold, brittle and hard
are sounds we utilize
and some of these are words
from certain kinds of birds.
Some of the words we hunt
are perhaps dull and blunt.
Cave men would sign and grunt
as a linguistic stunt.
People have come to be
somewhat literary
even most of us might
learn how to read and write.
Sharp, dull, or sweet of tongue
our words are often sung.
