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

You probably still have a ton of ideas in your poet brain I bet and no need for a resume! Either way, this was a good idea for a poem too, in other words a "help wanted" poem!:)
