Childproof Caps
I certainly appreciate
What childproof caps are meant to do,
But it would be at least as great
If they were not adult-proof too.
Flip Side of the Golden Rule
When other people don’t treat me
With my own common courtesy,
I pull away, and deem it sound—
The Golden Rule, just turned around.
Progress?
In old days there was one encyclopedia,
But now most people are on social media.
Which in some ways is good, in others it’s appalling—
Convincing many to believe the sky is falling.
Antithetical
Like anybody I have dreams,
But realizing them, it seems,
Does not affect me through and through
The way that disappointments do.
