Limited Dictionary

people try to propel
and often excel

in the area of their choice
stand up, and voice

their opinions on life
even to share their own strife

we all feel this need
an often excede

the limits of our dictionary
so the writers must be very

ready to expand
because the words that are at hand

cannot express everything
some not even anything

and of our monsters and men
they speak the truth, Amen

our minds do play tricks on us
sometimes we even cuss

at our stupidity
and are often typically

unable to express
the things we should profess
