A scribe notes a poetic advertisement
a tribe of the reader's enjoyment,
impart the sense of a word used by itself
an add on to another word off the shelf...

Part of a word denotes a famous Greek play
a newspaper ad directs readers to look away;
or part of a word reflects a taxonomic group
suffix of a word respects a mythological troupe...

So take out an ad with its multipurpose sense
advertise in a section for one sixpence
but remember the ladies of classical plays
the song of their ballad to draw you astray.

Reference to time after death arouses a shiver
or referral to a life before He was delivered
the tag imparts a word sense considered by itself
and a language is woven in literary stealth.

After reading this a couple times, I find myself bound by it's spell.

It is quite the ballad, poet Sir~

And I must confess, I'm lovin' the tag! Heh!
