My English students taught me a few new ways to see;
The words I took for granted, til they explained to me;
Words are different HEARD than SEEN; (see if you agree!)
PREPARED means that your ready; there’s little left to chance;
Unless you’re in a kitchen; then you’ve peeled it in advance!
SEAMSTRESS: Is a person who knows and sews it right!
Or maybe it’s a symptom that the dress is way to tight!
FORKLIFTS: as we all know move pallats with finesse;
But some think it’s the leading cause of why the seams will stress!
STANDARDIZE: Makes everything appear the same to me;
But then again it best describes our eyes mascara-free!
DESPAIR: Refers to moods that leave us in a funk;
But listen and it tells you what we all keep in the trunk!
ADMINISTER: To plan it all from sales campaigns to searches!
Or else the guy who writes those weekly signs in front of churches?
IDENTITY: Is who you are, your address and your state:
(Mammographer’s should have to show this on their license plates!)
COMPOSE: To calm, assemble, or else support creation;
But said by a photographer, it’s just an invitation!
LOCOMOTIVE: Pulls the freight from sea to shining sea;
Unless you’re in a courtroom and insanity’s your plea!
ENGRAVING: Makes it fancy, improving it’s condition!
The opposite applies when its performed by a mortician!
FONDUEs: improve food’s flavor with chocolate or cheese!
But for those obstaining, it’s FONDON’T if you please!
CAPTIVATE: Is charming and disarming all at once!!
Except describing cannibals, and what they did for lunch!
DELIGHTED: Would be full of joy, the opposite of pout;
Unless of course you’re speaking of the power going out!
As they're sure to tell you; fake it if you stall!
Cause words are only words, and no one knows them all!
