No Promise of Tomorrow
P- “Poets have been mysteriously silent
O- On the subject of cheese.” I quote
E- Essayist G. K. Chesterton's thoughts.
M- Molded from Thomas Carlyle, these words:
S- "Speech is silver; silence is golden."
A- Arise, to your pens, ye poets of today,
R- Re-write like there's no tomorrow.
E- Eventually thoughts will match up with words.
H- Harold Camping wrote the world will end;
A- And dating it brought him much sorrow.
R- Ripening of thought is like cheese and wine,
D- Distilling the words takes time to age.
