No Problem - No solution

             June 5, '13

                             No Problem - No Solution

   It's a real dilemma finding a resolution
   To the problem given as an assignment -
   To wit:  'finding a solution'.
   You could call it non-poetic alignment.
   If you scanned all of Shakespeare to Emerson's time,
   (Fairly most poets in the medium),
   I doubt you'd find 'solution' even for the rhyme -
   The word is a non-conductor - too plebian.
   Such words belong to widely different genres -
   Mathematics or behavioral psychology,
   Disciplines not given to subtle entendre.
   If anywhere in verse, perhaps a neo-modern anthology.
   Far be it for me to dismiss ideas out of hand -
   'Solution' might figure in a poem - it just wouldn't be grand.
