Nice one John; how about this?
Without adjectives,
there would be no fast or slow,
everyone would simply go;
no cruel or kind, no tough or twee,
every tale would simply be;
no frantic, peaceful, low or high,
every bird would simply fly;
no colors, crimson, salmon, blue,
or florid lime or other hue,
no presto, largo, shrill or sweet,
every sound a tedious tweet.
No best or worst, without measure,
featureless, devoid of pleasure,
like a man without a face,
the world would be a dreary place.
Unmodified, we'd tumble faster
to unmitigated disaster.
