Get To The Point

Enough of the small talk.
It is time to get down to basics.
I don’t want to hear you squawk.
Let’s not make this like a matrix.

Time to get down to the brass tacks.
No more beating around the bush.
No more waiting for it to pass.
Time to get up off your tush.

No more stalling and excuses.
Time to get to the heart of things.
Follow the path to where the moose is.
Face the music, like you had wings.

Time to get down and bite the bullet.
It is time to get to the point.
No more acting like you already know it.
Don’t get pushed all out of joint.

Put your money where your mouth is.
Time to pay the piper, so to speak.
No time out to take a wiz.
Stand tall and quit feeling weak.

We have faced it 100 times before.
We must be strong & face it again.
Don’t try sneaking out the door.
Are you a wimp or a real friend.

Time to get down and dirty.
Time to get down to the nitty gritty.
No more ducking out like a dirty birdy.
The end result may not be pretty.

Time to take one and wrap it up.
Time to put an end to it all.
What do you mean I should shut up?
It is time you fess up to what you saw.
