Yorkshire Writers' Lunch

    I deal in words , the flutter of notes High pitched, low drawl, hand-written scrawl Connection exchanged   I credit in words , the currency rich A Thank You, A Bless You! Compliments paid   I withdraw in words , sometimes miserly Few spoken, broken   Words fail   I spend in words , sometimes too much Rushing, gushing instead of shushing Listen carefully   I tip in words , a cheque to help Suggestions, recommendations, Selling belief   I save in words, precious treasure Nurture until ready, steady Go   I bank on words, to tell the truth Stand up, voice up To be heard
