Do You need to be a cramp?
Sometimes I have the voice,
Which may be hard to measure,
And my essential choice
Is to respect your pleasure.
If my opponent’s mad
With his attempt to bruise it, -
It’s not about the head,
But knowing how to use it.
Without points of view
Because of the scope’s assistance,
I am the something new -
Just joy of co-existence.
If grasp could be laconic
And radiant enough, -
It works like teasing tonic
And warp of chummy laugh.
Whoever watched a lamp
Until it’s smashed or taken?
You need to be a cramp
To make the thought awaken!
