Things I Have Learned It’s incredible as the years go by The things you can learn if you really try One of the first things I learned The rules parents set, I was not to spurn There was another lesson quickly taught We got into trouble whenever we fought You don’t pull your sisters’ hair And your clothes you learn to share Ride a bicyle anywhere but on a gravel road Be kind to animals, don’t squash a toad Always tell your parents where you’re going Be prepared to answer, “Why’s that water flowing?” Never complain when work is to be done If your attitude is right, it can even be fun Don’t bury the cat in a pile of sand Cats are made to live above the land Hold Sis’s hand in going to the outhouse at night If you don’t, you’ll probably die of fright Those branches that brush the roof outside Only sound scary when it’s eventide Taking a bath outside in a big round tub Jump in first for a cleaner scrub Living in the country is not for the faint of heart But, it’s a great place for a child to get a start Written by, Wanda L.

If you wave your magic, wanda, do those scary branches go away? LOL, I enjoyed this very much. |

Midnitesun; The magic only worked during the daylight hours. Whenever it was dark, it was scary. :-) Glad you enjoyed the poem. Wanda |

Way Out, I like your wild "way out" looking little cat. Since I am a cat lover, that little character jumped right out at me. :-) Thank you for your encouragement. Wanda |
