Gobble-De-Gook

Here’s a bunch of Gobble-de-Gook There is no sense or reason I just threw together some stuff I read Which constitutes poetic treason! Here’s a fact about knowledge and wisdom A fact which I know is valid Knowledge is knowing a Tomato’s a fruit Wisdom- not putting it in a Fruit Salad! Another fact I’d like to relate Pay attention if you please The early bird gets the worm But the second mouse gets the cheese! Another vision that I had I know may sound bizarre Going to church don’t make you a Christian Nor standing in a garage won’t make you a car! If you need cash here’s some advice I hope that you will heed it A bank will surely loan you some If you can prove that you don’t need it! Elections are a funny thing Our choices are quite shifty For president we choose from two Miss America from fifty! When faced with a payback decision Be careful what you choose When tempted to fight fire-with-fire Remember water is what Firemen use. Someone posed a question once I admit now that I smiled If we all learn from our mistakes Why do people have more than one child?
