Diplomacy’s an art unlike other arts
For it deceives both the minds and the hearts
It’s the ability to take something from a man
And make him think he’s giving it if you can.
It’s the art of cutting the other fellow’s throat
While impressing on the others that Honesty is your forte
It’s the trick of wearing another man’s coat
To make him think you are sailing in his boat
The diplomat, as you know, is a very clever man
Whose business is to outwit whenever he can
He’s the man who always thinks not once but twice
Before he starts to roll the dice
He may think a lot and yet not say
A word, since it might give him away
He’s cautious and careful, at each and every step
He takes many courses to get vigour and pep
He knows what to do when he meets his match
That a drop of honey will more flies catch
Than a barrel of vinegar ever can do
And soon he shows all his colors true.
A diplomat’s a man respected by all
He never does falter , never does he fall
He’s feared by many, but loved only be few
He’s often held in awe for the things he can do
