Words tossed and crossed and tumbled about
Who knows what lies they tell
A hundred million meanings more
And some just trying to sell
The greatest themes in life explored
An ecstacy of rhyme
All apple carts and how to darts
Directions for all time
The speaker calls for order please
Or you will be denied
The wit and wisdom coming soon
All hopeless diatribe
A poet young an ancient bard
A lout filled up with rage
All satisfy their hunger here
On this their empty page
But many do their hearts unfold
With grace so seldom heard
That we would give a thousand years
For just another word.

Only a real poetry lover could pen these perfect lines. Enjoyed this very much.
