Honey Chile, you is got to learn brevity
You talkin' nonstop, you got more adjectives than sense
You must be paid by the word
Yo' goal should be a point, not a club

Honey Chile, you is got to learn brevity
Why you got to spend so much time
Talkin' bout yo'sef when talkin' 'bout others?
Yo' goal should be to convince, not bore

Honey Chile, you is got to learn brevity
You overworkin' my ears, hear?
You know what you want to say, say it
Yo' goal should be to impress, not depress

Honey Chile, you is got to learn brevity
Take a short note from Ellroy, and Mamet
I should remember the beginning of yo' sentence when I reach the end.
Yo' goal should be epiphany, not cacophany.

To save others from grief,
It is meet to be brief.

You is learnin' despite yo'sef.

I mean to exhort you.
I will keep it short, too:

With words you are not proficient;
Your diet is lithium-deficient.

Ellroy and Mamet have their style
Which you don't approach by a mile

You imagine your prose res public
Instead it is over too quick.

My rhetoric is more ante vivo
From a time before people had Tivo.

Apollonian and Dionysian -
You can't aspire to either, but I can.
