Just Desserts
Excited by the notion, I steal a fraction of some sixteen berries but there was harsh commotion when the glum boss who tarries got wind. Kept my pay envelope he carries. Words used in order of appearance: excite, notion, (s)teal, fraction, sixteen, berry, harsh, glum, wind, envelope ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers. Larry D. Jennings MM Award Winner       |

Hello again, Larry...
I say again, because this is now the THIRD time I've typed out a response to this fine, well-constructed lira, nicely and quietly incorporating all 10 words. The FIRST time (yesterday) I said the same thing, but tongue-in-cheek congratulated you for doing the same into a fourteen-word form (septolet) which you had somehow cleverly camouflaged as a lira. But I could never post my words, since either the site shut down, or my computer glitched, and I couldn't return to the site at all. The SECOND time I said the same thing, and the site wouldn't allow me to post it AGAIN... but at least I could come back, so I posted the 5, 6, and 7 word sillies and came back to try again. Here goes.... ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!
