I gathered words over time
In a dresser divided
Verbs, pronouns,
Adjectives, nouns
Each in their own separate drawer.
Words that I use all the time
Stay near the top
Of the drawer that
They each belong in
Other words like “quashing”
And “protoplasm” stay near
The bottom and never get used
Until just now when I grabbed them
For this poem.
Just a little ditty with words about words
