AN ANGRY WORD by MARGARET E. BRUNER

First Line: AN ANGRY WORD IS LIKE A BOOMERANG
Last Line: WHOSE POISON DOUBLES AFTER ONE HAS SPENT IT.
Subject(s): ANGER;
An angry word is like a boomerang;
Its force returns upon the one who sent it,
And yet unlike it, for it has a fang
Whose poison doubles after one has spent it.
