Finding the words you want to write
A horror story to give you a fright
Letter of complaint to start a fight
Note to a friend to say you might

Sign just there and have no fear
With condolences and shed a tear
Having fun wish you were here
Thanks again see you next year

Finding words for what you mean
Not as simple as it may seem
Dictionaries full, if your keen
Words to find, never been seen

To run out of words must be hell
Having no thoughts under a spell
All the stories you wanted to tell
What’s the word… ? Ring a bell ?
