Wisdom
WISDOM
He had a thought,
He said a word,
He performed an act.
Looked back!
The word didn’t agree with
The thought,
Neither did the act with
The word.
He was perplexed!
He forgot the thought,
Erased the word,
Obliterated the act,
And
Started anew!
Myriad tryouts after…
He managed,
The word to agree
With
The thought,
And
The act with the
Word!
He achieved wisdom!
