Analysis of Room For Change



Puzzles are cut to size and the pieces fit.
Even so there's room for change and stages for wit.

Paradigms are preset and the font is worn.
Even so there's room for change and time to reform.

Royals are recognized and the king is known.
Even so there's room for change and ways to dethrone.

Archetypes are honored and the modes allure.
Even so there's room for change and designs to cure.

Customs are accepted and the rule is law.
Even so there's room for change and the man of straw.

Masterworks are valued and the bit is dear.
Even so there's room for change and nuances appear.

Patterns are established and the die is cast.
Even so there's room for change and chance till the last.
