There’s some people

that can talk

a blue streak

say all the right things

lay on the charm

butter on hot bread

good like that

But that’s about

as far as it goes

when there’s work

to be done.

and push comes to shove

or there’s a time

when you’re stuck 

between a rock and a hard place

it seems like

talking is all

they know to do

tell you what

tell you a hundred reasons why

you should do things

their way

but that’s as far as it goes 

it’s easy to do the talking

hard to do the walking

and that’s when you 

separate the boys from the men

find out the truth

about who’s who

goes the extra mile

sticks around

makes the best

out of what’s happening

finds a way

digs deep

shows up

pulls the weight

and doesn’t waste time

standing around talking

when there’s work

to be done.
