    ...but it doesn't rhyme. All poetry should rhyme.
    Fakers like e. e. cummings should rewrite all their old poems.

    my father moved through dooms of love
    through sames of am through haves of give,
    singing each morning out of each night
    my father moved through depths of height

    See? No rhymes at all.

    There once was a man named Khyber,
    Who was sorely inflicted with gas,
    One day he stumbled and let out a grumble
    And that’s how they got Khyber Pass.

    The only reward you'll ever get for doing the right thing is in your own mind. But do it anyway. Because I said so, that's why.

    Just in case anyone doesn't get my foolish sense of humor, e. e. cummings is one of my favorite poets and that was the first verse of my favorite of his poems. It doesn't rhyme at all and if I read it while walking down the hall I'm pretty sure to fall...down. That's all.

    Rather than preparing the future for our youth,
    we should be preparing our youth for the future. FDR

    It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old. They grow old because they stop pursuing dreams. “Marquez”

    And an additional conundrum..........
    When I plays, I plays hard,
    When I works, I works hard,
    But when I thinks, I falls asleep,.

    I was still in a dream when I woke up this morning and the last thing I remember is:
    “It’s not so much the lane that we choose to run in that matter but it is how we made the choice to run in that lane and the choices we make whilst in that lane that matter.”

    There are a couple of Christian references regarding running a race but with that specific wording, I can’t find a thing. Dunno, but I have been doing a lot of thinking about it this morning so I guess it is worth remembering.
