Parachutes Gates and Mouths

Parachutes, Gates, and Mouth’s
Written: by Miracle Man
2006/2021

A parachute makes man light as a feather, 
Just a sudden jerk and then you float.
It works the same regardless of weather,
but failing to open there’s no antidote.

“A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open.”
Frank Zappa


In truth, both are not found to be oblate,
and about gates and mouth’s I’m predisposed.
Both require a set of hinges to operate,
and are often open when they should be closed.

“Mouth’s are like gates,
usually open when they should be closed.”
Tom

Tom Wright January 9, 2021 at 9:14 AM Very smart mother, John Mine always told me that she had never heard of anyone dying from hard work. I always remembered that advice and it served me well in life. Tom
