To buy a bag of words
They had a sale you know
Two words for a dollar

And over here the closeouts
Words nobody wanted
I bought two pounds to go
For pennies on the dollar

And when at last I got them home
What was I to do?
They seem so useless sitting there
I put them in a stew

The stew it made me sleepy
So off to dream I go
Oh yes some words were creepy
I put those in a row

I make up words
Like I make stew
I master them
And so can you

A pound of words make cheap advise
But very tasty stew
And poetry is a device
