Notes About The Poem

8/19/2024 for Picture Prompt Paradox Poetry Contest sponsored by Margarita Lillico

It's the Principle

I made a few mistakes or a dozen.
I didn't know 'bout birds and bees buzzin'.
Son, please listen to me.
It's the principle, see?
Forget the football team and my cousin.

Hello David, I like the irony, humor, lessons, and acknowledgment of our mistakes. Full of wisdom! - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
