Patient Portent

There is a deplorable depravity
To try and distort the veracity
For the affected a time of uncertainty
Requiring patience and tenacity

The methods to defame are reprehensible
And the justifications are indefensible
For the instigators, it will be unpardonable
As the evidence will be incontrovertible.

Yes, I am sure that most persons have at some point in their lives either been in or known someone else who has been in desperate straits. The best part of the roller-coaster ride is the well grounded ending.

Hello Remark, I used to read a lot of books when I was growing up and I guess that has helped me in developing a wider vocabulary but now there are several web sites available that provide meanings, synonyms and so forth similar to the web site that you had suggested. I would venture to say that you share an Einsteinian quality - curiosity - that is a hallmark of superior IQ. .
