He is ugly;
When you do, it's nerves.
When the other fellow is set in his ways,
He is obstinate;
When you do, it's firmness.
When the other fellow takes his time,
He is dead slow;
When you do, you are deliberate.
When the other fellow treats someone especially well,
He is toadying
When you do, it's tact.
When the other fellow finds fault,
He's cranky;
When you do, you are discriminating.
When the other fellow says what he thinks,
He is spiteful;
When you do, you are frank.
