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
