Listen to poem:

*Image of Rubik's Cube by DA Giphy Situations and Solutions Immature, Mickey said, unbalanced, you've everything, That mindset left you with life choices, all, or nothing. I take it in peace, query to me from Panama, That I'm American, a native of Canada. Idle hands are the devil's workshop; what does it mean? Translate, the ungodly dig up evil; the unclean. I love the confidence of those with holy graces. 'Tis great, watching the trusting Christian holding four aces. I'm tasked by my dad, Albert Einstein, says, don't forget, Trust nobody's quote that you read on the internet. Ishmael was God's gift; why Abraham and Hagar? The prophecy fulfilled that he'll be a great neighbor. Individualism is like the fountain of youth, Three things can't be hidden; the sun, the moon, and the truth. Ice cream castles in the air, sand melting everywhere, That's realistic, expecting without a prayer. I cheer a wounding attack, and I think, well of them, Though attacking me, shows I'm a publicity gem. It's encouraging to be self-taught, ere all others, That won't fill your mind with the beliefs of your brothers. I like to know all there is of new friends and new trends, Though I can't recall a single thing of my old friends. I don't want to hear anything from you anyway, Though I'll fight to my death for your right to have your say. It's said, Disney liked the bright side of life, old master, That in fact, no one lives happily ever after. I turn disasters into an opportunity. The people fear, and there's financial disunity. It's always a good thing to want to be somebody, Think it's best to be specific, not anybody. I'm keeping properties and respect ordered review, The passions of the more, prejudices of the few. I think of love, mercy, and kindness and prove myself, Thanks for our care and for our God, our true Higher Self. I would like to be a friend of every working man, That is what I like to have a friend, just rather than. It is simple, just dot your "i"s and write a question. Then end it by crossing your "t"s with a solution. 2022 August 13

This poem is the best of four examples given by you. I am enjoying the theme. Of course it's tough. Yet I must try. Have a good day.

Yes, US, it was not easy changing the axiom normalcy to accommodate the couplet rhyming format--that was left to witty creativeness, 1 of the 2 submissions was well crafted and entwined with melliferous verbiage, exquisitely done, and a contender. It surpassed my expectations so early in the contest. Thanks, US, for your sharing!
