Sometimes there's more to a word
than what it seems
An innumerable diversity of use
each time changes what it means

"Blow"
is a word that makes me
blow hot and cold
I can blow my nose
but also a kiss
So many explanations
and different interpretations
I decided this:
to study my dictionary
and find out more
expand my vocabulary
a good decision for sure

Without striking a blow
I found what I wanted to know

Blow the organ, blow away
blow down, blow in, blow off
blow out, blow over and blow up
blow out one's brain, blow one's top

To my surprise the list there stopped

But there's got to be one more
What happened to a "blow job"?
It does exist, I'm sure!
