Variation As Defined

It's rain spent on a soggy estate of linked umbrellas,
finding some slightly jazzier meaning
for those insulated canopies,

one more one-millionth of a word
drenching the waterlogged dictionary
as we argue for affordable language

(I'm not even fundraising and I'm out 1,000 zeroes).
Rain and quibbles diminished, the adjustable tents reset,
it's slowing choice as somewhat of a victory for choices.

-- Glenn R. Frantz

And the millionth word is ... hardly a word at all
Wet Weather Doesn't Dampen Relay For Life
Foreclosure activity see-sawing
