Be always sure you're right — THEN GO AHEAD!

Note:  This tiny, little freedom poem demanded to be written for  today's exercise-the "prisoner's constraint". Imagine a prisoner whose supply of paper is restricted. To put it to fullest use, he will maximize his space by avoiding any letter extending above nor below the line (b, d,f,g,h,j,k,l,p,q,t and y) and use only a,c,e,i,,m,n,o,r,s,u,v,w,x and z. Compose a poem using only words that can be made from these letters AND which you source from your newspaper text.  A few times I tried to give up and write another poem with easier words-to locate.  My stubborn muse was having none of that.  Five hours and 2 newspapers later, the results. A most special thanks to Davy Crockett for the title.
