Michelle Faulkner Poet Rhyme

Bad Habits

My bad habits seem to jumble
Burp and mumble
My goofy ease
At losing keys

Good luck giving me directions
My projections
Of right and left
Are not so deft

Yet I sort whites and wash pans
Recycle cans
Good habits grew
From loving you.

Sara Kendrick August 9, 2021 at 4:46 AM They say it takes about 1 month to learn a good habit and about the same to unlearn one so you have equal chances of getting into good ones. I know you can do it. I enjoyed reading your contest entry and winner way to go. Congrats. Sara
