“Without Meaning”

 
“Without Meaning”

Sometime ago words had meaning
then it was thought why is this so
these words could be left leaning
on a teeter-totter going to and fro;
 
Without meanings then nonsense
no laws to be enforced or written
chaos would reign past tense
and all of lovers to be smitten;
 
Definitions and dictionaries lost
no more books published to be
think of the savings and the cost
maybe even saving one more tree;
 
Gibberish and slang to be the rule
liars would be exempted from all
being illiterate would be very cool
no more school rolls thus to call;
 
Sadly this day has come to be real
nothing means what was intended
playing at the beguiling of one’s zeal
everything of value now pretended!
