My brother taught writing and spelling;
He'd drone on about showing, not telling.
When he asked me one day:
"How is dear old aunt May?"
I pulled out my gun and I shot him.

What you tell me might seem off the cuff:
just the facts and the usual stuff,
but if inside my brain
you've linked into a chain
just the outline may be quite enough.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

Those toxins they say are polluting,
are as natural as teams and our rooting.
We're taught quite methodically
