The Wordsmith
To take a stand and to defend it
A broken vow and try to mend it
A learning line and try to curve it
To beef it up and try to serve it
To fashion out of nothing
So gracefully and grand
Ever surging stream of lire
Flowing from the hand
Appealing thoughts
As one can find
Take two or three
To somehow bind
Cunning ploys
Made to deceive
Compelling tales
To spin and weave
Holding back
Confusion neither
Here nor there
Nor cabin fever
A penny for your roaming thoughts
A dime for all the time that you spend
A dollar for your fortitude
A fortune for your attitude
Have you all sorts of plexing woes?
.. and vindication grand?
Just take it to the Smithy
SHe’ll help you understand
