So many things to learn 

So many new concerns

As we go through life

Trying to avoid strife



Which so many bring

Riding along on winds

They have now created

With things they've stated



And conversions required

Become so old and tired

One often gives up hope

Of ever tieing up the ropes



Around adequate explanations

Of all that causes consternation

Other than by airing it in verse

So all can be seen and heard



And thus conversions are made

Into solid thought which stays

In rational good-thinking minds

Of those who aren't at all blind



- Tristram
