1. In his palm a bundle of resolve
Trembling, always trembling

2. The zeitgeist forever apprehensive
Of its terrifying impact

3. Whenever it stirs into action
It's a bare flashing sword

4. Gentle of touch a lethal killer
And smooth yet it fiercely lashes

5. A mute but equipped
With tweezers in his fingers

6. So many a glib tongue
Less eloquent than his fingers

7. Teaching the foliage on branches
How verses rhyme and chime
