These things we call words...

Ever have trouble understanding what someone meant, or had someone misunderstand you. That's what inspired this poem...

What you tried to say…

A word is just a bucket
That you fill with what you mean
An unusual transaction
Not as simple as it seems

For when you pass that bucket
To another on your way
They drink up what they think you mean
From what you tried to say
