Stem The Tide
"Stem the tide" this over-used clichéWhat exactly does it convey
Are there special tide stemmers around
Whose job it is to bog tides down
Doesn't the moon control the tides
As around the earth it lunar-ly glides
Tide stemmers would cause much buzz
If they stemmed the work the lunar does
Is there a course called "Stem the Tide 101"
That teaches how tide stemming is properly done
"What do you want to be when all grown up", kids are asked
Do some answer, "a stemmer of tides, there's no greater task"
Perhaps this poem has gone far astray
In the attempt to understand an over-used cliché
Written by this poetic buffoon
Undoubtedly under the spell of a very full moon
