“ A man of Words and not of Deeds
Is like a Garden full of Weeds ;

And when the Weeds begin to grow,
It’s like a Garden full of Snow ;

And when the Snow begins to fall,
It’s like a Bird upon the Wall;

And when the Bird begins to Fly,
It’s like an Eagle in the Sky ;

And when the Sky begins to lour,

It’s like a Lion at your door ;

And when the Door begins to crack,
It’s like a Stick about your back ;

And when your Back begins to smart,
It’s like a Needle in your Heart;

And when your Heart begins to bleed,
Then you’re dead, dead, dead indeed."
