Sunday cockcrow nascent promulgate aural essays reveal,
laissez-faire luscious lustrous buoyant  raptures,
radio behemoth prompt to that untamed erudite fantasist,
me the one possessing rippled rampant penchant,
for titanic exploit extraordinaire beyond dimension heftiness,
 a stimulant patently innocuous...

Let's dwell a tiny bit  on that  skill  most hanker after,
of mastering a language that especially enthrals,

My tomorrow’s are uncharted save by God,
and today a brief moment in His time.
Let this day be spent not behind a facade,

I’m walking through the rough roads,
Losing traction in my current situation.
