To fail and fail to learn is vanity, like chasing windblown sand.

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: Saw Kendall Defoe's What To Say and Rick's Never Seen Again, so though I'd give it ago. You can take a look at their pieces below:

Inspired by Rick Henry Christopher and C. Rommial Butler, here are the rules:

  1. Must be 9 to 12 words
  2. The third word and last word must rhyme
  3. The poem must have a meaning to it
  4. Give it a title that is relevant to the meaning of the poem

    Very good. And seems such a minor key to rhyme off, I kind of like it, it's almost rebellious.
