Sinks In and Is Saturated

Sinks In and Is Saturated

There must be something about belated
Which is related to how long you waited
Then when  death at door does its thing
People become upset and tears does bring.

Performances are from beginning to end
Unless some other thing you did intend
Can a cookie like a heart seem so contrite?
Just as soon as you took a single bite.

When warm weather what about big breezes?
Thermometer inches up and heat increases
And a phenomenon occurs which is grand
We now live in a more comfortable land.

There are in's and out's and up's and down's
And forms of glory wearing many crowns
Before my poem sinks in and is saturated
Read many times unless highly educated.

So true, so true. It does "sink in and saturate" the mind.
