Marginalia

This is from someone whose family kept a Webster's Third International Dictionary on the sideboard in the dining room, so when we had arguments about a word's meaning, we could look it up. I know...weird...right? I still had to look up capacious.

I get lost
In writing
In speech
Which needs
The whole dictionary
To get anything across.
To be sure
I love
The good vocabulary.
Still
Who needs
Capacious
Who needs it
When those who read it
Those who hear it
Must write it
In the margin
And look it up.
