If you can write and then recite, with expertise in each,
With something new borne of insight, such that it's bound to teach...

Their births and deaths, to come and go,
Their beacon lights to bravely glow,
Though quickly sent, they reach us slow...

Butter, Or Something Like It...

I've tasted stuff that wasn't nice,
I've stood there in dismay...
That margerine made me think twice,
Should I throw that away?
