Things We Learn

Harsh words

To a child at three

Or even into puberty

May linger ‘til the

Age of ninety-three

*** *** ***

Belonging

Is the sense of complete security

Unfelt by very many

But well-known by all

Who know they are beloved

*** *** ***

The well-executed

Local pub

Has more character

More soul

Than any chain I know

*** *** ***

Some woodpeckers

Will do their dead-level best

To insert a spear-like beak

Into the candy apple red

Hummingbird feeder

*** *** ***

Facts matter

Boiling water both

Softens a new potato

And

Hardens a fowl’s embryo

*** *** ***

Dust accumulates

Rust deteriorates

Cash evaporates

Cars depreciate

Mindsets need resets
