April 29th — A Poem A Day

Never Learning

I learned my nevers as a child.
Never take candy from strangers.
Never take wooden nickles.
Never count chickens before they’ve hatched.
Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
Never bite the hand that feeds you.
Never cry over spilt milk.
Never sign up to write a poem a day.
Never say never.

    1. Minky — my birthday was quite fun, thanks to all my friends – -and your wishes are still welcome! This past year has been remarkably blessed. I would be doubly blessed to have two in a row!

  1. Never forget spell check. When did we start splitting milk? I have spilled it, gulped it, slopped it, sprayed it (don’t ask) and cooked with it but I have never split it.
    The rest of it is pretty cool.

    1. Fixed. And spell check wouldn’t have helped a bit. Split is a word.

      However, I have slit milk. Put a bit of whole milk in a saucer, and drop into the middle of it one drop of a grease dissolving dish liquid (like Dawn®) and watch the milk split.

  2. I don’t think I ever got that NEVER list down…. I LIKE wooden nickels… they’re cool! And I probably wouldn’t take CANDY from a stranger – but I’d take CAKE from even stranger than stranger!

  3. It’s good to have some “nevers” as boundaries, but good, too, to take risks and chances and stretch ourselves.I think Poetry Month has probably been that for those who did it — a stretching of mind and imagination.

    Love your comment about splitting milk. 🙂
