THREE HARD WORDS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: He can memorize long orations
Last Line: "those three little words, ""I was wrong."
Subject(s): Errors; Regret; Mistakes; Fallacies


He can memorize long orations,
And regards the work as play;
His masterful dissertations
The clearest of thought convey.

His speeches are never the weaker
For lack of a suitable word;
In fine, he's the readiest speaker
You probably ever have heard.

He never was known to stutter,
His voice is vibrant and strong;
Yet three words he never can utter,
Those three little words, "I was wrong."
