Reassured By Transferred Word

when we like each word
when we had been reassured
to better base we transferred

when words up start to shake
more biscuits we would bake
my poems are at steak

when we start to sail
received a letter in the mail
we are frail and will fail

when we would set sail
Soon out water had to bail
so proudly we will hale

(Quite a movie)

when we had a gale
we would refuse to set sail
bread we baked was stale

when we liked to laugh
went out and bought a giraffe
who gave birth to a calf

when I talked to my staff
what should call a small giraffe
could be a calm calf

when weather has been bleak
will write a poem of the week
to read you will seek

where should I have gone
when I would go on and on
some new poem will spawn

when small we should call
an animal short or tall
to decide would stall

when in shower stall
used soap in shape of a ball 
stepped on and would fall

when leaving long trail
have hit the head of a nail
will tell a tall tail

read news which was latest
not only that was the greatest
confessed found at a fest
