Mr Mackie Said
‘Just let it out. Don’t hold back.
Don’t stop yourselves.
Don’t censor yourselves.
Let your words flow
Like a mountain stream
Like a babbling brook
Like a raging river
Like a tidal wave
A tsunami!

Like a cosmic wave, Moving between galaxies.
Like a…like a…’
And we all groaned
’Cause Mr Mackie was off
Like a racehorse
Running its own race.

The word ‘babbling’ is like the way babies talk to themselves in a gentle voice. A ‘brook’ is smaller than a river. I can guess that a babbling brook means the words can flow gently and cheerfully.
