Ask & Answer 7. Removal instructions  Tell me, please, won't you Just how much can poetry do?    For a moment, please suppose that the world has NO prose.

Would it have the needed range? The user manual for your comp Would it gain in style, or lose in oomph? What about the news? Current events and expert views? Would good news make you sing? Bad news lose some of its sting? It would be pretty hard to reject A lyrical science project. Or give a scathing, rhymed retort To a poetic book report. A simple visit to the dentist would give more than molars a twist 'Coz if you rhyme 'bicuspid' Well, stupid, you get ... Cupid! Or when you visit the store and, like Oliver, you ask for more, If it's going to take a while The assistant MUST wear a smile! So, if the world had NO prose, Would each thorn grow a rose?
