Vocabulary

By Dennis Pickering

© 3/10/2002 Dennis L. Pickering Increase your vocabulary Get yourself a dictionary. Cause yourself to be more wary Of the others in this ferry. Like Perry who saught to explore. And unfasten everyone’s door. Parallel to him I implore. You reader to open mind’s door. Those people who don’t want to learn Cannot liberate from that urn. You do comfortably discern And occupy just like a churn. Well people, don’t you want to grow? Circumnavigate that heave-hoe And get yourself upon that bow That waits for you to take the show. You will comprehend that your boss Is one who’s seldom at a loss. Understands words you thought were dross Can smoothly wrest them from the moss. I once was told that I should write For the audience that will light With frequency upon this site Has magnanimous oversight. Oversight’s what I conjecture. You have here don’t want to lecture. Anyone in this bright picture Who is upon this fine fixture. Vocabulary does increase Your paycheck now and it does grease Your pocketbook that’s in your fleece Or your stash kept in your valise. Recall get that dictionary? Just getting won’t boost your query. Please make it just like that berry You swore just one, then you terry. Because if you fail to use it Its purchase won’t increase your wit And you’ll be stuck in the same sh_t Out of which you struggle to git.
