clank chink, clank chink
hammer tings, nails sink
strike a blow, swing the arc
write a word, make your mark

rhymes phrase, thoughts swim
metres made, soul's whim
feelin' down, in a funk
hearts beat, hearts sunk

tell the world, click a key
pour it out, souls free
whisper quietly, in an ear
tell the joy, tell the fear

make it wry, make it profound
make it sing, make a sound
strike the hammer, make a blow
tell us all the things to know

recount to those who want to hear
what's important, what is dear
recite to those who give a sh!t
life's wisdom, life's wit
