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
