Say what you mean
Mean what you say.
Oh, how fond you are of
beating around the bush -
of treading warily.
How weary that has become.
*
I'm asking you to
Say it straight.
No more hemming and hawing
No more evading the subject.
Say what you mean
Mean what you say.
No more pussyfooting around.
No more delays.
Say it straight.

I love this. How you used various words and phrases for the same meaning. And there is way too much pussyfooting around. Well said, Julie.
