An Oval Precaution
An Oval Precaution
Safety comes first when dealing with the oval
They are the shape of things to come
Which once was round before they found their way
Ovals start out as circles drawn upside down in lead
A thin line curved first between reality
Other objects follow them in calm accordance
Ovals are not born or hatched from eggs
Imagination welcomes those who wait
They have no eyes
But serve as examples of how to be
While coming into being from the source
Original in the course they take
To occupy a particular space when they are in it
When being formed they learn no boundaries
Roll oddly down the street
They could learn a thing or two from tires
Ovals never look both ways
(Having no eyes creates that quandary)
Beware of them
Take every precaution
Take an oval precaution if you can
