My friends have a field day reminding me how good i am with words, and they make a joke of how i can seduce the birds out of the trees with my verbal magic, not to mention my attractiveness lol, but the question is....do you have verbal magic? .....or as they say the gift of the gab? if so give a small example.

An Effervescing Elephant
With tiny eyes and great big trunk
Once whispered to the tiny ear
The ear of one inferior
That by next June he'd die, oh yeah!
Because the tiger would roam.
The little one said: "Oh my goodness I must stay at home!
And every time I hear a growl
I'll know the tiger's on the prowl
And I'll be really safe, you know
The elephant he told me so."
Everyone was nervy, oh yeah!
And the message was spread
To zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus
Who wallowed in the mud and chewed
His spicy hippo-plankton food
And tended to ignore the word
Preferring to survey a herd
Of stupid water bison, oh yeah!
And all the jungle took fright,
And ran around for all the day and the night
But all in vain, because, you see,
The tiger came and said: "Who me?!
You know, I wouldn't hurt not one of you.
I'd much prefer something to chew
And you're all to scant." oh yeah!
He ate the Elephant...

I think sometimes I do. I will use a phrase or an image, and someone will exclaim about how clever I am, and others will laugh at the unexpected way I said it. I'm usually surprised by this, because I think I'm just being very straightforward and sensible most of the time. Steve used to say I have a great deal more influence than I realize.
The only specific I can think of is the fact that I was unanimously and quickly voted the jury foreman [forewoman?] the once I was on a jury. Everyone seemed to using my interpretation of the facts even before I realized it. So I called for a vote, we found the defendant guilty, and we all went home after less than an hour of deliberation.
P.S. I saw the defendant going into the same restaurant I went to last night, and he smiled and was polite. (It's a very small town.) It was only a misdemeanor, and we tried to give him the benefit of the doubt. He did not seem to be holding any grudges.

I used to be a DJ at a Skating Rink. I'm always told I talk like a DJ.

More verbal diarrhea, I'm afraid. I keep crapping on and on and don't know when to stop.

Every time I open my mouth, golden words roll off my tongue. Too bad I am unable to actually enunciate any of 'em...LOL.

Unfortunately, I have a hard time expressing myself.
