Words by Carl Sandburg

Some words are happy and some words are sad.
Some words are scented and others smell bad.
Some words are open and some words are sly.
Some words are slimy and others are dry.
Some words are cold and some words are hot.
Some words are tender and others are not.
Some words are honest but other words cheat.
Some words are bitter and others are sweet.
Some words move quickly, some words are slow.
Some words are shrinking, while some others grow.
Some words are remembered, some words forgot.
Some words we use little and some quite a lot.
- Carl Sandburg
