Fabulist the Vocabulist A winter weekend, with west winds whistling, Wyatt Williams went to Windermere Waters. Without work to wear him down, and walking near the water's edge, his thoughts wandered and wondered to the world's war of words. In Wyatt's wake, he wholeheartedly wagered that words wielded the way to woes or wows! Worthy words will do wonderworks, and weave warmth, while wicked, wretched, wayward words causes winces, wounds, wailing and whimpering. Withdraw from words which whip and wreck like weapons. Be wary and warned; wrong words will weigh down our whole will. When we wield words that add to other’s well-beings, w e b e c o m e whatchamacallit.... wonderful word warriors. Winning words would always be welcomed, wanted and should not be withheld.
