Tripple Checking

Feeling the need to check up
On what is happening in regard to an issue,
Is a sign of Maturity,

Feeling the need to double check it,
Is a sign of a high IQ.

Feeling the need to Trippel check it,
Is a sign of Life experience showing through,
Not one of senility,
That comes when one Checks to see,
IF one checked up in the first place.

I would normally have to check your check was done properly but seeing you are an Aussie I guess it will be ok. Seriously though I only physically check if I cant get a mental picture of me locking the door or turning off the Stove etc. A sort of mental rewind Do Aussie's have that ability too. or is it only us Kiwis. Has your Hubby been watching us play England in Cricket. my bed time. Us Kiwis are always up earlier than you lot. Bye
