John Knight - PO - ET - RY

What calms your mind when the chips are down?
How can you smile when the others frown?
Never the spectre - always the clown?
The answer I see is PO - ET - RY

What lifts you up when you're feellin' low?
What keep you sane when your car won't go?
What keeps you warm when you're stuck in snow?
The answer for me is PO - ET - RY!

When your horse is lame and your cart wheel's broken
And the words 'I LOVE YOU' are left unspoken
What makes you smile when the tears are chokin'?
The answer you'll see is PO - ET - RY!

When the water in your well's gettin' lower and lower
And it ain't gonna rain for six months or more
And you creditors are hammerin' at your door
The answer for free is PO - ET - RY!

POETRY can wash away - your bluest blues
POETRY can give you - ample time to choose
POETRY can daily - put you 'In the Muse'
POETRY can even - help you mend a fuse!

The answer must purely be
The answer must surely be PO - ET - RY!
