Not for All the World’s

When seriousness calls,
it's best to answer
and have a plan.
The warmed-up
hand can shake well,
become dry, and scry
its way out of a bad
future. The caller
wants to be taller
by manufacturing
a collar. Remember,
answerer, you are
living in a mad
glib world, and
you too can slip
away before the
curtain crushes
your tale.
