Rush, Weddings, and Other Events

I would say something, but whatever I say will be wrong.

—

And, if I say the right thing,

I’ll use the wrong tone.

—

If I say the right thing with the right tone,

I’ll say it at the wrong time.

—

And, if I say the right thing, with the right tone, at the right time,

my expression will be wrong.

—

If I say the right thing, with the right tone, at the right time,

with the right expression,

my hand gesters will be too much.

—

And, if I say the right thing, with the right tone, at the right time,

with flawless nonverbal presentation, they say,

“She’s not really one of ours.”

—

So I say, “Have you tried the potato salad? It has olives in it.”
