A man of magnanimous soul
Wakes up in the early morning
Parts the curtains and picks up a call -
The third Macbeth witch is calling
She speaks like a favorite of King Lear
Offers enticing plans for the evening
But a man says to her “sorry dear
I really can’t take this deceiving
I’m not at all curious to know about
Anything secretive, well-hidden
While the sun shines, I’m going out
I don’t waste time on the fruits forbidden”
Then a man of magnanimous soul
Tries to disconnect, whispers “damn”
His wife appears, as he stops the call
“Who that was?” she asks, he says “spam”.

Magnanimous
Noble character—
With a greatness of spirit!
Never vindictive . . .
Generous and forgiving . . .
High-minded and always just!

M-agnanimous zeal within
E-nhances the ray of light;
A-iming to show spiritual courage,
N-ot fearing the dark of
N-ight.
G-reat vigor ends sluggishness
O-r lethargy that you feel;
M-onday February twelfth,
E-mploy a magnanimous
Z-eal.

Dry bones in you makes a lot of radical change,
No matter what hinders your specified range,
I'm forming you to be a strong sage,
Naturally your skin won't accept a syringe,
Forever,among all those men who're timid,
My words are making your fame rigid,
Through rudimentary process,
Feel the reality in my closet,
That place will provide a tutelage,
As compared to holding a deadly mandate,
I've spoken fairly,
Will ever work for you honorably,
Choose what you wish justly,
And you'll be given fastidiously,
I demand that dearly,
But make sure you address that justifiably.
