Spelling BeeRough as in ruff,
Spelling can be tough
Though as in fro,

Enough!
Enough!
Enough!

Speech is A Caricature Of Thought

But in my voice
I sound like nails on...

When I look back
I don’t recognize myself
Was that me

Was I that mean
Did I say that – to my sisters
Criticizing friends so cruelly

Finding Order in OrdinaryI
Better not blow away the ordinary
Often ordinary turns extraordinary
How, you may query
I'll answer, if u tarry
