Be More Specific

 

 

 

Be more specific,

Please make it clear!

I am clearly not understanding

That which I hear.

 

I am not that daft,

Just break it down a bit,

All I am asking you, my friend,

Please be more specific.

 

Be more specific

And I won’t have to guess,

Be straight-up as you speak

And help avoid a mess.

 

Rhetoric is all right

And has a rightful place

But your verbal wanderings

I am unable to trace.

 

 

So, be more specific

And bring me some clarity,

So that as you are demanding

I can reply appropriately.

 

For as it is right now

I am hopelessly oblivious

So, I beg you most respectfully,

Bring me into focus.

 

My oratorical skills

Are not quite that refined  

So be more specific, if you please,

If you’ve got the time.

 

Your subtle innuendo

Offsets me quite a bit

And all I am asking you, friend,

Please be more specific.
