Word has the upperhand,
the poet has to meet the demand.
Word has dictionary strong,
poet might have to fight being wrong.
Word is already jelled,
poet has to verse rightly spelled.

Word has proper grammar,
dot every eye slammer,
or poet gets the hammer.
Word was born before,
the poet ever hit the door.
Word is unforgiving,
but the poet has to go on living.

Poet is somewhat lacking,
word has longevity backing.
Poet might have to study hard,
or word will deal a joker card.
Yet poet and word are one,
and versing sure is fun.
