True Teachings Poem by Edward Iacona

TRUE TEACHINGS
Edward Iacona


Here are some true things I have learned:

I have learned lessons from books
Such as Green Eggs And Ham.

I have read that Rhett Butler just
Does not give a damn.

A sweet potato is not
The same thing as a Yam

History tells that Thailand
Was once called Siam

And French Indo China
Is now Viet Nam

When closing doors
One should not slam

If I take it on the lam
Means it's time for me to scram.

Addressing women politely
One can say "Maam"

A male bighorn sheep is
Also called a Ram.

I like jelly on toast and
I also like jam.

Edison's first recording was
Mary Had A Little Lamb.

Don't do things to later regret
In front of a video cam.

I have even read the book
Ruba'iat Of Omar Khayya'm

And, now I own a Cell phone that
Is much smarter than I am!
