Falling through the sands of time
Looking for the words to rhyme
Never wanting the sublime
For no one reads like that
Up the word wall, I will climb
Spiderman in a real mime
Looking further is no crime
Just digging through the fat
Specific words like fresh-picked Thyme
Fall easily right on a dime
Not sour as a ripened lime
My rhythm never flat
