A Quote – v2

A quote, a quote
My brief for a quote
Oh were it but so
That I perchance could find
The case on point, the nugget,
The precise notion
the precedent, the compelling fact
To set my pen to write
Cast care to the winds
And blend a rule
build a line of reasoning,
overwhelming their thoughts
See an argument
Master a rhyme
Meter and verse
Within the rubric
the structure, the scheme,
In my mind…
