The Love Of Words Poem by Adrienne Crawford

The love of words
How they roll off your tongue.
They are the fun.
And they slip with a quick
Dip of the pen,
And when you discover them.
What a sheer delight to be found.
What a round about way to say
The things on your mind.
Be so kind as to share,
And give a care for bears in the forest
Who hunt for food
Campers leave behind.
But I digress.
Back to the thought at hand.
Begin to sing your song once more.
Don't be a chore for your kids.
Put back the lids on opened
Bags of potato chips.
And be hip to the jive
And slap your grandbabies five.
And maybe you'll see
The light of day.
Hey, no more to delay.
Get to steppin'
And keep your chin up.
And don't discuss
Any political views
Only news you can use.
