Wanted-New Words
I went and placed a wanted ad
Inside my local discount rag
Hoping someone somewhere might have
Some new words they could send my way
I've started feeling slightly bummed
Using the same old worn out ones
To me they are no longer fun
Plus I need something new to say
The ad went something like this
Needed...New Words With New Ideas
Dial 955-3636
For where to drop off your resume
The words they started pouring in
From short to fat to long to thin
With no idea where to begin
I'll try my hand at come what may
With the new words I did not mince
I poured over them all with diligence
No matter past or present tense
It took up most of the day
With the new words all now lined up
I'm ready to try some different stuff
So hold on tight this may get rough
Never said it'd be a piece of cake
It'll still take effort and some work
To find the right rhyme and perfect verse
That fit the newly acquired words
To help along the way with what I now have to say
