A phrase recently used in a radio commercial haunts
But it is has been used in some of this work as taunts
Thus realization reveals a very equal patronization
As works have hummed and unmasked this creation
Sometimes words fall together in a way which sings
And it's not always meant to sound the way it rings
So please be aware these things are not intentional
As much of my meanderings are completely rational
But a poet in learning sometimes becomes a fool
When things fall together easily and thus it is a tool
And there are certainly times when it's appropriate
But at others it does seem a little silly to be so quaint
... Thank-you
