Words Are Awesome!


Little language do I lack

A livid living set of lines

A long-awaited leading nack 

A large and legion slew of rhymes

 

I am. I was.

You do. He does.

These verbs of helping do I hold

 

I can. I can't.

You shall. He shan't.

The wonder of words shall never grow old.

 

An example shall I give you now

A masterpiece of mine

To show the excellance of words

To all of humankind

 

"Walking a weary but willful stride

The wandering widow went her way

And when she had walked for nearly  a mile

The worn out widow resigned for the day.

 

 Afterwards a wizened wanderer

 Withered by age and without guile

Went to the place where the widow had stopped

And willingly walked the extra mile"

 

As you can see

There cannot be 

As bright and bold a beauty

 

And if you look 

Into a book

You'll find a trove of booty.

 

For words existed to be used

And free they are for all to share

And sad it is that some aren't used

For unto words can nothing compare.
