I AM your Staff

Clean the bathroom and wash my truck.

What worked for you yesterday,
Will not work for you today ,

Pick me up some new batteries.

Come to me in the early morning that My WORD may light your path ,

I guess that'll have to do, since the batteries in the flashlight died.

So cover yourself in My Zeal for it is the fire that will lead the way ,

Tyvek and Nomex required.

For my Fire guides your morning and shall be your eyes at night ,

Pick up an extra pack of batteries, I don't quite trust you with open flames.

Allow Me to be your shade in the heat of the day ,

Lay off the donuts and seek out Jenny Craig.

For I can stop the planets

Please don't.

That was almost, like, poetry ... especially this line:

Pick up an extra pack of batteries, I don't quite trust you with open flames.

Most of it is iambic pentameter, and the variance at the end, "/op-en / FLAMES," gives the point a subtle kick.
