# All these words are empty baskets
# Carried to the market square
# Trading truth and lies in barter
# Warranting warn buyer beware

# All these words are reeds I wove
# Taught to hold my pauper’s share
# Show me yours before and after
# Out in the open we may compare

# All these words are on the table
# Yoked to folly the shell game starts
# Trick the eye they who are able
# Cunning those the same the heart

# All these words are fruits of labour
# Bounty’s grace on harvest’s day
# Test taste and judge the many flavours
# Fill your need be on your way

# All these words so meet and proper
# Morning meals served hot or cold
# Savour meaning old sharecropper
# Recall the stories you were told

# All these words are open caskets
# Life goes on even nothing’s fair
# Gather seeds for ever after
# Till the breach sow to repair
