Last Word
Some must be the last word
in panache and chic
Some must be the last heard whenever they speak
Some must be the last word
in power and drive
Some must be the last heard whenever they thrive
Some must be the last word
in fervor and truth
Some must be the last heard whenever they sleuth
Some must be the last word
in demise and cease
Some must be the last heard whenever they fleece
Some must be the last word
in mantra and chant
Some must be the last heard whenever they grant
Some must be the last word
in hauteur and show
Some must be the last heard whenever they crow
Some must be the last word
in impasse and balk
Some must be the last heard whenever they talk
