Picture Something Great

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Beckon something beautiful
Picture something fine
Transmit something dutiful
This is your dinner wine

Conjure something fantastic
Picture something great
Propose something dynastic
This is your motif plate

Image something courageous
Picture something brave
Evoke something outrageous
This is your highest rave

Summon something majestic
Picture something large
Proffer something domestic
This is your noble charge

Endorse something laudable
Picture something strong
Perceive something audible
This is your heartfelt song

Conscript something delicious
Picture something sweet
Prepare something nutritious
This is your special treat
