Diplomacy

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 him 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 out 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 steps to retain vigor 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
