Thesaurus
Do you mean a lexicon?
Maybe even a codex,
Or a book of words,
So that I may understand!
I say, “Aller de sable livre!
Or are you the one that,
Well, that does not comprehend?
Just when I thought newbie Tuesday,
Had come and past last night,
I get a guy with three poems,
Telling me to go read a Thesaurus.
Why not just pass over my poem?
Why have such a negative disposition?
Another said I belittle people,
d*mn right if you review like that.
So by all means grab your Dictionary,
And your Thesaurus and look up the words.
If it sounds condescending then it is, deal with it,
And if you don't like it, then remain silent,
Pass me by, and review another poem!
