Twinkle twinkle little stars, please tell me wherever you are, sky blue, The cows turn their heads, as they stand in their beds, grass grew, The mop and the broom had to clean up a room, mushroom, Mom goes no-no, Dad goes boo-boo, the baby goes poo-poo karma, The bass and the trout went swimming about school's out.

I sort of like this, meaning life has a limit on its span, ergo, it's ok to dabble but fall short on sonnets. Thanks my friend, Aloha, William
