    A Suggestion
    (Hint, Idea, Conception, Thought, Plan for
    a Christmas Yuletide Card, Missive, Note, Epistle.
    With the aid, succor, assistance, help and cooperation
    of Roget's Thesaurus.)     by Breton Braley

    I send, Transmit, consign, convey
        Mail post, address to you,
    This poem, stanza, carol, lay,
        Which herewith you may view,
    See, look at, glimpse, peruse and con
        And thus perhaps you'll find
    Learn, guess, discover, come upon
        Just what I have in mind.

    This celebration, concept, thought
        Is really very clear,
    Plain, obvious, distinctly wrought
        And thus it will appear,
    Be manifest, made evident
        What this is all about,
    And with what purpose, plan, intent
        This card is going out.

    It offers, tenders, helps express
        Love, friendship, admiration,
    Regard, affection, tenderness,
        Fervor and adulation.
    Oh, were it not for the smallness of
        This card, it might be hinted
    I'd send more synonyms for Love
        Than Roget ever printed.

    So if you dwell, live, stay, abide
        On isle, peak, plain or isthmus,
    I greet, salute you and beside
        I wish you "Merry Christmas."
