Think humble,
No need to mumble,
Try not to stumble,
Have less trouble,
Venture out of your bubble.
Kind acts double,
Fun enable,
Guilt less affordable.
Face now likable,
Smiles more suitable,
Hugs renewable.
Mind stable,
Mistakes limitable,
Mirror charitable.
More than one friend contactable,
Life better than tolerable,
Grudges forgettable.
Revenge unthinkable.
He wrote four lines of poetry
before retiring to his bed
falling off to sleep instantly.
His subconscious was unperturbed
from any indigestibles
eaten earlier while writing.
His dreams were clear, limitable,
inimitable, exacting
like the four lines of poetry
he had meticulously wrote.
Upon wakening, his psyche
through these dreams began to take note
of the images that hit home
and found the words for his poem.
