I Put A Wage On Words 
I Make Sure You Get The Value-Heard 
I’ll Leave No Stone Unturned 
I’ll Leave No Kindle Unburned 
 
That Is My Literary Style 
Whether I Write A Minute, Or A Mile 
Yeah, Sometimes Less Is More 
… More Oft, I Have To Explore … 
 
… Every Conceivable Angle 
Or Let A Thought Just Dangle … 
Every Twist & Turn Of A Phrase 
I Will Make Love To A Page!  
 
‘Til I’ve Exhausted Every Idea 
And Made Meaning Crystal Clear 
If My Stones Take Too Long Sculpted 
Don’t Look, I Won’t Be Insulted 
 
Now, I Too, Love Short & Sweet 
Connoisseur Dessert, Is Such A Treat 
But When I’m Ready To Eat … 
Let My Teeth and Tongue Find Meat!  
 
Savoring, With Intensity 
Sharing Expensive Homily 
A Commonwealth From Honeycomb 
I Am MoonBee … I Don’t Drone 
 
In My Mental-Exchange Economy 
My Writes Are Wall-Street Autonomy 
If I Got A Penny For My Thoughts 
I’d Be The Trillionaire … (Money Talks)  
 
So My Words, Are A Collected Wage 
If You’re Not Worth It … I Don’t Waste 
And If My Words Are Being Appraised 
The Cost Of Speaking … Just Got Raised
