Perspective of Nonsense
Once upon a time but not so long ago,
A man sat by a pond dangling his big toe.
A rather large fish enjoying his daily swim,
Noticed the mans big toe that kept enticing him.
The man saw the fish as he sauntered by,
He wanted that tasty fish and he must fry.
His pole already baited was lying by his foot,
When he picked it up it landed in the brook.
The fish all laughed at him when his worm escaped,
There would be no dinner on the poor mans plate.
The moral of this story goes something like this..
If your efforts are lazy you'll never achieve a thing,
Like trying to lace your shoes without shoestrings.
