Today’s word is “buckram” ... buck-ruhm ... stiffness of manner; extreme preciseness or formality; a stiff cotton fabric for interlinings, book bindings, (Dictionary.com)
Trying
A little man went walking,
His spine like buckram cast,
Every step was measured,
All his mistakes lived in the past.
But in the concrete there were cracks,
Where roots had taken hold,
There he tripped and faltered,
Feeling less than bold.
He reassessed his route,
He checked his point of view,
He loosened up his tie,
And started out anew.
