Verse is nothing special

I’d like to tell you what to do today / but I’m not good at giving out instructions / so let’s pretend that you already know / exactly what to do in case of fire… / or other kinds of grave emergencies…

We can converse in verse quite easily, so it must be that verse is nothing special, but just a way of ruling out, not in,  the combinations that we use each day  to make our meaning clear to everyone.
