Headed For Leadership

compound word verse
There is a worthy cause you see could start a trend which needs to be spearheaded. Deal with arrogance, grand pooh-bah, don’t act like some maharaja, bigheaded. Be stubborn and members you’ll lose. Teamwork succeeds under one who’s clearheaded. What to do with folks who complain, a leader in angst must remain coolheaded. Share the wealth and share applauses lest you find your worthy cause is deadheaded.
May 2, 2020 contest: Compounding the Verse sponsor: Joseph May I used Rhyme Zone and How Many Syllables? The latter lists both "coolheaded" and "deadheaded" as 4 syllable words. I count them both as having 3 syllables. Have contacted them about these two mistakes and await a reply.?? Have found all of my compound words online at Farlex Free Dictionary.
