Metaphor

The man who eats his words shall have a feast indeed
It may be flavorful and rich
Or scanty and decayed
but it shall be a feast nonetheless

The man who speaks with much thought
may not have much to eat
but each bite will be wholesome and good

The man who speaks only good of himself and only ill of others
Shall eat until he runs to fat
Gorging himself on the things he oughtn't to have said

And the man who speaks only in lies shall not eat his words
but be eaten by them.

One thing we have established, if words are food for thought
I quite like playing with my food
