Pain and gain

Pain and Gain!

Searching for the words which looked the same;

And numerous others which sounded the same!

I sieved through the Oxford English Dictionary.

With the sincerity of a devoted missionary.

Often wondering whether it was worth?

Pondering how it was stealing my mirth!

Eyes strained by the constant look;

At that micro mini lettered book!

It is true there is no pain without gain;
And also there is no gain without pain!

The words now I need for my babbles;

Drop on my lap like Newton’s apples.
