HOGWASH RHYMES
If I knew I could never fail,
I will know that I am not human.
If I knew I could never fail,
I won't have pain in the real world
If I knew I could never fail,
Nobody dies in this world
If I knew l could never fail,
Time will just stand still
If I knew I could never fail,
Many things I can create
all because it will never fail.
It is all hogwash rhymes
with all the what ifs lines
Please drink it if you like with
a squeeze of sour lime
no meaning at most paltry
for this is silly poetry
to seek a little smiley.
and make your day
feel fine.
