Up Words<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Using “Big” words has been called <o:p></o:p>
my very own “eccentric sin.”<o:p></o:p>
This is a just cause for illiteracy <o:p></o:p>
that someday I hope to win.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
I remember the days <o:p></o:p>
of my own ignorant youth.<o:p></o:p>
My language was foul <o:p></o:p>
and considered uncouth.<o:p></o:p>
I had written some rhymes <o:p></o:p>
in those simpler times.<o:p></o:p>
But today’s lengthy prose is <o:p></o:p>
now to challenge all minds.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Why write of a leaf, <o:p></o:p>
or a star hung on the moon?<o:p></o:p>
There’s no challenge today <o:p></o:p>
when you’re fed with a spoon.<o:p></o:p>
So I’ll gather some words <o:p></o:p>
that educate, don’t you see?<o:p></o:p>
With the hopes they will send you <o:p></o:p>
to the diction-ary.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
It’s a collection of dialogues <o:p></o:p>
that word lover’s must sort.<o:p></o:p>
As they define every meaning <o:p></o:p>
in my psychological retort.<o:p></o:p>
So get out your dictionary <o:p></o:p>
and just try to have fun.<o:p></o:p>
And when it’s all over <o:p></o:p>
some new insights have begun.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Human Emotions are very real <o:p></o:p>
but they come with a price.<o:p></o:p>
Learn them all while you’re young <o:p></o:p>
and you’ll never think twice.<o:p></o:p>
Some will seem like a riddle, <o:p></o:p>
and some play like a #game#.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
But illiteracy bites the bullet when <o:p></o:p>
young shooters take their aim.<o:p></o:p>
Accurate communications are my only<o:p></o:p>
mission’s intended destination.<o:p></o:p>
Dealing with Love’s “insentience” itself <o:p></o:p>
is part of this writer’s literary machinations.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
And what good would this be <o:p></o:p>
without some old-sage advice?<o:p></o:p>
Word frauds will soon be found out<o:p></o:p>
and may have to read this prose twice.<o:p></o:p>
So why not just enjoy <o:p></o:p>
increasing your own fruitful mind?<o:p></o:p>
For those carefree times a-comin’<o:p></o:p>
when we can all peacefully exchange our rhymes.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
