WORDS

Metaphorical synonyms I often use,
When I don’t have the words to write,
Often periphrastic but not profuse,
And not always quite polite.
It’s due to the education that I lack,
For I did not finish school,
Thus perplexed I fought right back
Made up my own words and rules.
Over time I developed a unique skill,
But only I knew what I meant
Thus it took a dedicated will,
These obstacles to circumvent.
Though still I struggle half way up the hill,
For no more words can I invent.
