Idle HandsA Poem by Arthur N KnownI bult a tower then tore it down. I went to swim but nearly drown. I made a knot to wear around. I felt it pull me off the ground.
A man so short of breath behold! He grabs his neck; he tries to hold. Suffocation prevents growing old. Good men fade into the mould.
I hung until I found the cure. A skeleton: bones white and pure, He payed is penance to be sure. I won't embark upon that tour.
Days alone have taught me well. Idle hands did cast a spell, But hard work rebuilt the cell, And cast idle hands back into hell. © 2011 Arthur N Known |
