A Can of Words


 



When lifting lids on cans of words

Pour carefully don’t tap

In case they topple mixed up-wise

Read other meanings in your map

 

Keep them tidy on a dinner plate

Clearly screen ingredients

Sort surprises shocks and disbeliefs

For the sake of arguments

 

Make a row of those you know

A leading list that starts you off

Write a menu out of pleasing things

With all the meaty words you scoff


Rearrange and scan to suit yourself

Look for rhythms in their span

Should your feelings run in other words

Then open up another can
