PROMPT #383 – IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW.

Some say it’s never too late to learn something new.  Do you agree?  If so, what might you want to learn?  Maybe you disagree.  Whether you agree with the statement or not, use it as your springboard to write your poem.  It’s never too late.  😉 

MARIE’S SOMETHING

Say …

“Never say never,”
they say, and it’s clever,
‘cause never is never
forever and ever.

And what of forever?
For that is a never,
for always forever
is never to end.

So amend what life penned,
and just go with your gut
and delight in your dreams.
But don’t ever say, “but.”

WALT’S NEW TRICK

TEACHING OLD DOGS

Old dogs can learn,
but they’re a bitch to teach.
You can reach them
if you’re persistent,
but you know they’ll be
resistant to change.
You might bribe them with treats
but it defeats the purpose.
Nowadays I find myself
pretty set in my ways.
Rest assured you CAN teach
an old dog new tricks,
but leading a horse to water
is a totally different schtick!
