Became Deeply Suspicious

What are the things that tarnishes wishes Which is when I became deeply suspicious Was it a word in a poem I recently read? Which way by word was I being lead? Maybe such a word was useless and trite In poem not perfect or fit exactly right So at it decided to take another look With only one word could I write book? Should word be would or possibly could? How about clear or maybe misunderstood? Either left, right, sight or only pronoun me Going on a strike or out when there are three. Then there is winner, loser, keeper and goal Weeper when ball was not between each pole In football there is such a word as intercept Not on purpose but poor player was inept. Which one of these words should you choose? And if not properly interpreted, you will lose And why do some people appear to be dumb When in England word mom is really mum. Is that why we here in America always say mum's the word? James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
