WORDS

WORDS
Words ... words... there are many,
With shades of meaning aplenty,
Yet, we really have much too few.
As it is, by now, known to you.
For, spelled the same, a word may be
Different in use and meaning, you see.
Others, though the same sound take,
Different menaing and spelling relate.
Words... words... you'll just have to accept*
From writers, like myself, who are not adept.
However, you don't have to agree
With the rambling words put together by me.
*Insofar as they are received by your senses
