It

Use it or lose it, but try not to abuse it. Confuse it, amuse it, but you should not refuse it. Lick it or stick it, but you should never pick it. Deny it, defy it, but I know that you'll try it. Take it and bake it, they say that's how you make it. Fake it or break it, but no need to forsake it. Shell it, repel it, hell, you can even sell it. Define it, refine it, but don't you take it's mine it. Prefer it, defer it, it might even be her it. Forget it, regret it, but the odds are that you'll bet it. Prepare it and share it, but you should never spare it. Baste it and taste it, but you should never waste it. Say it, don't spray it, but you can still display it. Love it or shove it, put nothing else above it. Contrive it, derive it, take control and drive it. Hike it or bike it, what ever way you like it.

"It" has found a very special place in poetry. I would never have imagined how such an insignificant word would be elevated to the status we find here. Your masterful use of the word makes me wonder what other magical tricks you have up your sleeve Robert. I love "it" and will fave! Love, Lizzie
