Things would probably be different for me today
had I chose not to put my “but” in the way.
My “but” has been very useful – I use it quite a lot.
Sometimes I would rather – “but” then, I rather not.
I choose my “but” wisely and express it with simplicity every day:
I would “but”; I could “but”; I should “but” what will people say?
I cannot count the times my “but” has caused delay;
I would love to express it more, “but” no, not today!
