Part IV: "To The Better Letter Post Scriptum"

Iambic pentameter is not enforcible but there should be a rhythmic flow.

Rhyme Scheme: ababcc

L-eft/5 syllables of themes con; 5 syllables on pro. This is an inter-reversal line that'll exchange with the bottom where R indicates reversal complete, with that said, the 5th syllable in the reversal, will become the end syllable thus claiming ownership of the couplet's rhyming "c."
E-xemplification; on the pro half of your theme, metaphorically or not--your call.
T-roubles; on the con of your theme, metaphorically or not--your call.
T-emptation; an expounding of terms, same as the above line.
E-xcellence; an expounding of terms, same as the above line.
R-ight/A line for a simple reversal with pro on the right.

L-Speed misjudged its breaks; odds knew--widow's mite.-a E-Live yond your means, who are your family.-b T-A hard worker, big spender, works in spite,-a T-Jones styles for their smiles save one--their envy.b E-Live simple, live smart unlike ducks and drakes,-c R-odds knew--widow's mite; speed misjudged its breaks.-c
