Hi, My Friends,<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those, who think I’ve gone all heavy and socially aware in my writings, here’s a lighter offering. Within this poem, you may find a glaring lapse of grammar. I know… I know… but anything for the rhyme. Stash<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Other Side of the Garden Wall<\/strong><\/p>\n

Said little snail to the worm beside him,
\n\u201cI wish I had mouse
\nThen I could ride him.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019d be able to travel from here to there…
\nIn the blink of an eye…
\nAs fast as the air.”<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s a great big world I\u2019m wanting to see.
\nThere\u2019s excitement and adventure
\nJust waiting for me.”<\/p>\n

This revelation caught worm off guard,
\nAs he was content exploring
\nHis own backyard.<\/p>\n

Said squiggly worm:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you\u2019re looking for can be found right here.
\nIf you leave, all you\u2019ll discover
\nIs disappointment, I fear.\u201d<\/p>\n

But snail\u2019s yearning could not be dissuaded.
\nHe found a spry mouse
\nAnd his trip… he made it.<\/p>\n

He travelled north, south, east and west,
\nPutting his theory
\nTo the test.<\/p>\n

He journeyed to where the grass looked greener.
\nBut what looked so fat
\nTurned out much leaner.<\/p>\n

Folks were the same wherever he roamed.
\nHis eyes wide opened,
\nSnail returned home.<\/p>\n

He wanted to share what he had found
\nBut the garden was empty
\nThere was no sound.<\/p>\n

Worm had gone on a surprise fishing jaunt.
\nSomething he didn\u2019t need.
\nSomething he didn\u2019t want.<\/p>\n

A foot, a shovel… and he was took.
\nWiggling and squiggling
\nOn a pointy hook.<\/p>\n

This story has a moral buried within.
\nWhether at home or away…
\nSometimes you just can\u2019t win. <\/p>\n
