Quandry

Should I cherish words
like say I would a friend?
or
Measure words
like say I would a trend?

Should I build a lexicon
like say I would a mansion?
or
Choose a phrase
like say I would a fashion?

Should I master speech
like say I would a slave?
or
Command the language
like say I would a knave?

Should I plod along
until I get it right?
or
Eat my words
like say I would a bite?
