Words Are the Tools of My Trade
Words are the tools of my trade
a carpenter choses to use wood
with which great things he makes
my choice will always be words
Just like an artist, a picture I make
instead of using paint, just like
a bricklayer lays bricks in line
I make lines by using only words
Words are the tools of my trade
an engineer works making an engine
each part he adds as he builds it up
yet with words I tell how its done
words are so powerful in what they convey
they cover such a range held back only by our
imaginations, that, which inspires our pens
to write and to hopefully enthrall the reader
