Wisdom…

wise-owl 
When
I was young,
just a little sprite,
I believed grownups
were wise and always right.
That they knew everything,
nothing was left unknown.
I’ve discovered the truth,
now I’m grown.

    The more I learned,
    The more I forgot,
    I’m at the age,
    Where I forget a lot,
    I’m now down to zero and such,
    Perhaps tomorrow I’ll know,
    Ten times as much.

    Let me see…ten times zero…I don’t know…wish I had a calculator so I could start getting smarter.
    By the way, Pen, nice job again.

    Love this Pen this is very true that is exactly what we thought as a child. But we know better now , learning something new on every passing day. It was good though to look up to our elders and hands on chin listen to their every word. Hugd Sheila and Wile-e 🙂 hope your day is going well. xx

    Very nice Pen,
    And most of us get to realize that wisdom doesn’t necessary come with age but with the successful application of the lessons we learn in life.

    Much Love. 😉

    I like the shaping of your words Lady pen,
    and that Owl looks rather wicked perched
    on your Space like that, how do you mean
    what did I think of your poem? Well give
    me a chance girl 🙂 I was just about to add
    that your poetry gets better and better 🙂
    Well it does you know 🙂 Right I think that
    I will crack open a few bottles of the fizzy
    stuff next, and as there are no Gas Masks
    I think that you should hang on to those
    Corks as you never know when you might
    need those Lady Pen 🙂 😉 lol

    Have a wonderful Friday and a most
    deliciously orientated weekend also 🙂

      Wicked he is.. I thought his eyes would stop blinking, Andro, when I um… ‘rescued’ him on Photobucket,,, but it worked so well.. Pity the shape couldn’t be more Owl like…but that was the best one I could come up with…Glad you like the whole thing.. and corks are being saved as we speak… 😉 … Hope today’s been a good one..and also hope your week-end goes with a bang.. (cork-less.. unless from a bottle I mean… 😉 ) xxPenxx

    Now there is a truth I wish I never knew…
    I am not grown up in my world so I am saved 😉

    I am hoping you have enjoyed a splendid Christmas with the one’s you love.
    And may the New Year be filled with Peace, Love and Happiness.
    Smiles,
