Limitations
I think you’ve got to stick with what you know;
It’s fun to try new stuff if you don’t mind
That some of your attempts are going to blow,
And most of it you’ll want to leave behind.
From time to time it’s true that some will stick,
Like throwing pasta wet against a wall.
But satisfaction’s far less hit or miss
When you pursue what you know best of all.
I do imagine I’ll improve upon
The finer points required of this art;
For now, I think shall not go beyond
What lies within my wheelhouse and my heart.
