Stuck for a phrase or three perhaps,
you must know where to go at this point,
yes, that most solemn book yet condensed,
source of information for that unique quip,
that apt description let’s say so elusive,
or an equally important alternative,
way of putting things by finger flicking pages,
It’s that dictionary a loyal writer’s trusted friend,
sturdy, steadfast, stoic,
authentic, beguiling,
It seldom disappoints if ever when used,
with a mind on high focus, whose attention doesn’t waver,
doesn’t stray into silly out of context norm,
but please don’t rush, squander, stagnate,
in your rapid noble quest for some knowledge,
pace yourself in the course of a search,
be broad minded and
fair to oneself,
and others too as to fret is futile so daft,

this splendid book one should revere with such relish,
within grasp though sequestered in case of off guard lapse,
has earned its diamond border podium encrusted shelter.
