What I Told Bill

What I told Bill My voice unchanging and shrill Was about life in water necessitating gills And the ones on fire, grills The left spaces for man to fill… And it should be mainly about his will But not less intensely his zeal The same I had disclosed to Jill But it didn’t him at all thrill: On some angered bottle spending a dollar bill And glumly ascending a closely bill From his valley-sited vacant mill Always life depicting as The Still.
