"Plato once declared

That at the touch of love,

Everyone becomes a poet.

They say people write poems

For and about the people

They always think about;

The people they love.

Then this one is for you.

If there's a law decreed

To mess up our lives

And we are allowed

To speak only ten words

A day, every single day,

I would use the six words

To communicate with others

And reserve four words."

I ask you to save three;

Only three words for me..."
