‘A poem with a wink / Knowledge’

Book photographs

Books in secret nooks

I read what I need

My mind surely minds

What I take and what I make

 

This rhyme isn’t worth a dime

Money may make someone call you ‘honey’

But what seems worthless can as well be priceless

The choice is your voice

 

Knowledge can be your pledge

Feed your brain without pain

It pays dividends but not in cents

Just like experience, neither in pence

 

Live your life as you want to live

Give away what you want to give

Rules are for fools

Friendship is to worship

 

That’s what you can learn and shouldn’t burn

As simple as a pimple

If I made you think or smile and blink,

I will say this poem made my day … wink

  3. Haha I love it. It did indeed make me smile 🙂

    Good work!

  4. I like, “I read what I need.”

  5. This is great I do think rules are for fools and I would rather have a wink. When I was young and they said no I would ask why and they would say because I said so no answer so to me I never followed rules unless they could tell me why and give me a good reason
