avaricious

In response to all this pilfering

I request more time in a day to devote 
To the joining of words - and if time
 
Cannot be manipulated- she’s a horrid 
Bitch I’m told - then good old fashion 

Coin - gold, silver, paper even - or bit 
A bit here and bit there - in umbrage 

For all the words taken - an alphabet given 
That launches ship and sends men reeling  

What do my words do in a vacuum 

A bit for a bit 

Perhaps that will do 

Nicely
