Scrabble

Scramble in life of a 
man. 
Is sequel to gamble 
and grumble 
Thinking that he is 
humble 
Because he could 
afford an apple. 
Men begin to play 
him like scrabble. 
As a sample for the 
simple. 
On-till he finds the 
temple.
Commit your life to 
him who is ABLE. 
It will not crumble, 
crumple or fumble 
Which are triple -
sorority. 
You will neither look 
rumpled nor tumbled. 
It is all a parable 
that saves from 
trouble 
Which is a seed of 
struggle 
Mostly for the 
'arable farmer'.
Yet not like the 
carpenters hammer.
