Hesitation

Hestitation

Some chaps find it hard to speak straight:
Their listeners just have to wait.
Their speech is a mess,
They start to digress,
Then it’s all stop, start and…. hesitate.

I don’t think it’s cos they’re stupid or dumb,
More like their minds have simply turned numb.
They become all unsure,
It’s so hard to endure,
When all they can come up with is ……“um”.

This problem can make them feel sick,
As they battle with their verbal tic.
They might come out with an …..“ah”,
And they don’t get very far,
I’m sorry – I’m not taking the mick!

Don’t mock – it could happen to you, man -
Bet you wouldn’t know what to do, man.
So don’t be uncertain,
Nor go for a burton,
After all – they say “to ‘er is human”.
