Fortune Cookies

So, clever is the insight of this cookie.
I am Eager to know my fate.
Fortune cookies are always inspiring                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Eager also to digest what I ate.
The last one said, and I quote:

"Who cares what you know
unless they know that you care."

The guidance and wisdom, I eat.
And discard the sugary treat!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     As I write a poem so sweet.
The fortune cookies wisdom, now mine.
I ponder this thought upon retiring.
As I stash what the cookie has wrote!
