Notes About The Poem

Lessons Learned

True Story



So, I wanted to hang a birdfeeder the bear cannot get to
I took some rope, tied a rock on the end of it, to throw over a high branch
I kept missing, realizing I lack the athletic ability I had when I was young
After many times trying, I threw it again and the rock flew off!
So, I tied the rock tighter and threw it high again
This time, the entire rope flew over the target branch, onto the ground!
So I tied the other end to another tree and I threw it yet, again
                    -	ALAS  -  IT WORKED!  –
I lowered the rock, tied the birdfeeder on and pulled it up like a pulley
Now, I have one out back and out front; the birds will be happy!

Gershon Wolf May 21, 2022 at 8:59 PM Looking at the last line of the poem: I am so happy that you have 'one (feeder) out back' -- instead of one back (yours) out!! Perseverance and Persistence, Gershon Heidi Sands May 21, 2022 at 10:51 PM LoL. Thank you Gershon :)
