When I Ate My Words

Achievement is my predicate

All affirmations I will dedicate

Devote my honesty to indicate

Show how changes can eradicate

Remove all things that complicate

Scrambled meanings I equivocate

When suspiciously I contemplate

Thinking how on earth to extricate

Disconnect though not prevaricate

Be less evasive when I implicate

To not incriminate or inculcate

Instructing writers not to desiccate
On shrivelled pages words will dehydrate

Dry out and rehabilitate
