Life's Simple Lessons

Witty lessons to be learned

 

 

One

 

Child sticks doll in the toilet,

flushes

water went up and up,

she quickly hid underneath her bed,

mother comes, then screams,

and that was all she said.

 

 

 

 

Two

Man standing under a tree,

icicles glisten on a limb,

beneath him crystal clear,

gleaming sight,

warm shining sun,

sets them free.

 

 

 

 

 

Three

Wounded eyes that hurt so much,

you did see the skull and bones,

on the can, when you brought the can home,

but when you sprayed the bee’s nest,

you had the can facing the wrong way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Four

 

Snowflakes falling,

covers the ground,

mother’s calling,

their kids to come home,

but they play,

on that brisk winter’s day,

you smile as a child falls,

but you fail to hear the other calls,

as a snowball hits your face.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Five

 

Sizzling logs in the fireplace,

wood crackling,

warmth fills the room,

cozy, nice,

but you locked yourself outside,

in your bathrobe,

while getting the mail,

now you’re just on the outside

looking in.

They were all really good, but i liked the second one best!

Man enjoys pintitude of poems
Not knowing what pintitude means
he slips away and watches TV
