Be Remembered When You're Dead

Words they don't come easily
Taking years to fill the void
There are those who use them miserly
Causing listeners to become annoyed

Sentences must string together
Making sense from start to end
But some make heavy weather
Trying to send us round the bend

Paragraphs are part of a story
Taking time to thus unfold
The length of them shouldn't worry
But we can't wait 'till we get old

Chapters can be sections complete
Independent from the rest
That make a book precise and neat
But connecting them is best

A book is a labour of love
Full of words and drawn up by passion
Often with help from above
And sometimes lost with the fashion

Choose those words with shrewdness
Write them to be read
If they also show astuteness
You'll be remembered when you're dead

©2004 Hey Hey

You're keeping me up with newly posted words,
all shrewdly written to be read
hey hey but it's now gone one a.m
and I must off to bed.


Very good again.

Finally, the motivation I've been looking for!

What rhymes with dead but not forgotten? Hmmm...

read but not besotten?????????
