Notes About The Poem

https://www.poetrysoup.com/images/bio_images/BeverlyStock130761/photos/ps_slow_cooker-6862.jpg

Is Slow the Way To Go

Slow Rolling railcars are a better pick,
If high-speed travel makes you sick.

Slow On The Uptake is confusing,
Slow But Sure, safe but unamusing. 

Slow Markets make a stock broker mad,
Slow Release tablets - best to be had!

In the Slow Lane, you're just an onlooker.
Best “Slow” I know is in my Slow Cooker.

I do not know anything about slow cookers, but wasted considerable time in my youth waiting for slow rail cars to pass! Aloha! Rico

I suppose it would all depend on one's age, Beverly. When we are young we want everything quickly but soon learn that things gained in haste usually do not last. Sorta like the saying, easy come, easy go. i enjoyed your poem:)
