An Overabundance of Words - An Add Anthem

Entice the essence of the word A lexicon of value heard A luxury of words astute With salutation and salute Inside this circle, only squares And children point with double dares A solo singer comes in pairs While stepping down to climb the stairs I'm sending letters without stamp A street light stands without a lamp; Deduct the darkness from my bill My empty tank too full to fill A centimeter is no inch Before the punch it's time to flinch A baker's dozen has thirteen And what you saw you've never seen When I get home I've gone away I work too hard when I'm at play Tomorrow is my yesterday My ferrous feet are made of clay I win the race when I have lost Find out the price but not the cost My brand new plane is highway bound Square holes I own are in the round I guess I've got a problem here I ask for wine and got a beer I know the words but cannot write I have my eyes but have no sight I think it's time to go to bed But when I do I'm getting up I did not say what I just said So pour my saucer in my cup

Very beautiful flow of words equally with nice rhyming..I like the expression - street light stands without a lamp; Deduct the darkness from my bill, tom
