Six Hundred Thousand of Them
Some rhyme
Some need capitals, not capitols.
Some people can speak them.
Without knowing how to write at all.
If you use them, please spell them correctly.
I have no idea what I would do without them.
600,000 of them
And only one of me.
I am opening the dictionary right now.
I want to learn ten more.
Ten a day.
No, wait. I am old.
I had better learn twenty a day.
They are ready to be used.
Smiling from the pages of a Thesaurus,
Taunting me, laughing at my ignorance.
Yet free for the taking.
