Sticks and Stones

Sticks and stones
may break my bones
But words can
never hurt me.

Words! Words! I'm so sick of words!
I get words all day through;
First from him, now from you! Is that all you blighters can do?
Don't talk of stars Burning above; If you're in love,
Show me! Tell me no dreams
Filled with desire. If you're on fire,
Show me!

--Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady
