Second Time's the Charm

I’ll keep this short, that all may know These words I write, I write to show A singer* once said of the trade that he plied A poem is a person, stands naked and spied A compliment given reflects back upon The giver if not those words were steeped on So when you tell me just so, to be nice “The stanzas you wrote I just had to read twice” (I'd expect you to do so And second that motion Re-read it my self Added words to this notion) Please do a poem honor and read it again Don’t let first time through be simply the end. *Here's to Leon Russell!
