Misplaced words

Word's are never obsolete
Just nefariously put aside
Until you decide to spout em
Then there useful in a rhyme

The word's they play
As though once written
By some great sage
Some forgotten over age

I've never thought of myself,
As a purveyor of old words.
But a poet like me called Ken,
Like to use them again and again,
And again and again and again.

Many words are just ignored and left on the wayside.
Like they say often enough, "use 'em or lose "em!"
So good to see you writing and posting, dear friend.
