Ode to The Dictionary

Dictionary is not a dictator
That dictates life and death like a Prosecutor
Decides who has the right to exclaim dear
Exclaims to sufferers of myopia.


Dictionary is such a great doctor
That commands scholars like an
Admiral
Travels to the seas and high mountains
Proclaims to the world of the worst nuclear.

Dictionary is not a counsellor
His blood carries dreams and incubuses
Friend's dilemma
When children try to pronounce banana
Laugh at banana that is the nipple.

So what is a great dictionary, dear?
It must be a tutor of knowledge
It is a soldier of great wonders
Last of all creations
It is the fire of all colours.
