A Little Pearl of Wisdom, rescued from the Oyster of the Soul, as created by Dash, the wondrous Poet whose Poems give meaning to Life

Growing Up

Growing up is like playing sports:

both pulverize your heart.

One in the sweeping realm of the mind,

the other, in the brutal reality of life.

The Purple Cow

This is a poem I copied and memorized a few days ago.

The Purple Cow
I never saw a purple cow;
I never hope to see one.
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.
