Monumental Moment

Think me not a man of pith. 
In General terms, I'm Private like Smith, 
a name the same as any John, 
as if you’d ever heard of one,
or who he knew, or what he’d do
way back when this whole World was ‘New‘.

Plainly, I deal mainly with

more wanton words, without much pith

in spacey places, lacing my shoes

while cheering those here with good news.

This rhyme shows just how what I’m feeling 
is something that is well worth your dealing 
out like cards, or shards of glass, 
leaving the past where you have passed.
