We Need Time To Digest Words Slowly

Words are wonderful things,
That can encourage,
Our appetite for knowledge and understanding

They can help the flow of creative juices,
And rejuvenate brain cells thought to be dead,
The could even negate the need for some drugs.

They are the key to getting the most out of words,
Is to digest them at a leisurely pace,
And not skip too many doses.

Treat them as you would a fine wine,
And don't try to swallow in one gulp,
Or you could run the risk of brain fade.
