Some tutor me with quill-penned rhymes
On pages published long ago;
They walk the earth no more, yet show
The parlance of the former times.

In buses, rickshaws, trains, or cars,
Unwittingly, some teach me words
(While jawing with their office herds)
Not in my synonyms' jars.

A verse website's akin to school,
Where poets, young or old, apply
Their prowess to my lines with high
Precision, like a sharpened tool.
