REFINE – REHASH
Good authors are keen to refine Their writing, to make their prose shine. They never rehash Their juvenile trash, But carefully polish each line.

In winter, when wheels may be clogged And tractors on farms can get bogged, You'll see people clamber Past lights flashing amber Up steep icy roads that are fogged.

An offering tendered with piety To the gods of some ancient society Made an onerous rite But assuaged divine spite And conformed to religious propriety.

If you've just set your metronome ticking And it keeps changing rhythm or sticking, The base might be tilted Or inner parts silted, So don't simply give it a kicking.

If there's something not normal I spot, I take out my notepad and jot Its time and location And more information. The world's full of wonders, eh what?

Inspectors are constantly raiding The dens of unauthorised trading. They seize dud machines And bent trampolines – It's squalid and pretty degrading.

The senior staff in some firms Still think in hierarchical terms. Their separate space Is a sanitised place Away from the proles and their germs.
