What will little William be,
When reaches his maturity?
Kind Sir, it mayhap be absurd,
Grandpa Moses of the written word.
To give his career a needed boost,
Trains he to Master the mot juste.
Should you care about poorwilliam,
Than prithee The Force is with him.
William's Whimsical Words:
It was a dark and stormy night . . .
