due to my dictionary
wandering about
there will be no words
for me to spout

the dash thing
took a hike out of here
where it ventured to
isn't too clear

should I not locate it
within the week
the outlook for writing
shall be very bleak

I cannot understand
why it left me
there was no logical reason
for it to get up and flee

should anyone
see a Collins dictionary
wandering in a field
near your locality

let it know
that its owner wants it back
all will be forgiven
if it gets on the track

twill be full steam ahead
at this place
when my word reference
shows its face
