Puzzled Smiles
PUZZLED SMILES
When will we want what’s worthwhile?
Seems some children always choose wrong over right,
And adults’ alternatives are also selected with short-sight:
Perennial problem posed, from Adam’s to my puzzled smile.
To take a snake’s apple? Or grapple for goodness’ sake?
To plump for perdition, or select salvation?
