My warehouse full of words

I recently bought a huge consignment of used words. I got them in a private sale before they went to auction. There are over 2 million in the lot, which is a very decent bundle. Now all of these words have been used before, but they are all in good condition, and all are clean. They could be counted on to work perfectly again in new pieces of copy.

There are a lot of nouns, as there always are in job lots like this. But the broker told me before I purchased that there were over 350,000 adjectives in there, as well, and around a quarter million verbs. There are also some very nice old adverbs which date back to before the war, but which are still in serviceable condition.

I have my words in a warehouse over in Docklands.

They're not sorted. They're just in a huge pile. On the floor. A huge mishmash of words.

Of course, they don't make any sense right now, lying there like so much old scrap metal. They don't sell anything to anyone. Don't persuade anyone to do anything. They don't announce. Or inform. Or advertise.

They're just a load of old words right now. No meaning. No power. No impact.

You're probably wondering what I'm going to do with them.

Am I going to arrange some of them into a persuasive website and use others to build hugely successful sales letters?

No.

I'm going to keep them.

And sell them off, just as they are, to people who ring up and ask me how much per word I charge.
