To Be Gold Is Good
To be gold is to be good,
To be stone is to be nothing,
To be glass is to be fragile,
To be cold is to be cruel.
What am I?
A heart.

Never Ahead, Ever Behind
Never ahead, ever behind,
Yet flying swiftly past;
For a child I last forever,
For adults I’m gone too fast.
What am I?
Childhood.

A Cloth Poorly Dyed
A cloth poorly dyed
And an early morning sky
How are they the same?
Their color both change easily.

My First Wears My Second
My first wears my second; my third might be
What my first would acquire if he went to the sea.
Put together my one, two, three
And the belle of New York is the girl for me.
Manhattan. A MAN wears a HAT, and a MAN might acquire a TAN if he went to sea.

Turn Us On Our Backs
Turn us on our backs
And open up our stomachs
You will be the wisest of men
Though at start a lummox.
A book.
