Scanning Poem by Kent Krauss

When you have the need of pulling in a large scene in a small amount of time
You need to find a way of hitting the important points without an arduous climb
So you wisely seek counsel about the best way to proceed, gather a view
That encmpasses the essence of your subject, so no matter who
Might take in this panorama, they would get the full effect of what was portrayed
Without too many unneeded, cluttering details which could have left them flayed
