You name it



Cancel directions, the first of a few
I wondered if now, you would be too
under endowed without it dilute
buy a spoon here's a tune by balloon.

 Slided in blew the intended caboose leaving due
drying sums sue moisture reused this to
tie tidal totally tethered to try
good di-day intuitive divide made highway bye.

About this poem

A colorful way of playing on words but yet still saying something . It addresses a common idea some stay with and I remember being taught in school. I always wanted to know what the author meant, go to the source for the real meaning. We miss out every time we assume or guess. Sarcasm invites the old me into making the very mistake, had I been the audience reading this for the first time. Enjoy the reread.
