You're It


Through the garden, up a tree
I’m so fast, you can’t catch me!
In the house and up the stairs,
What! You tagged me? That’s not fair.

Self


What is in a name?

Or a secret?

But is the secret the truth,

or only an illusion,

set forth to ends with no beginning,

and no purpose?

As leav
es fall into a forest with no ears,
they make no sound.

But here is the truth,

that all become wise-

Truth is in the eye of the beholder.

Chilly Willy


Chilly Willy was a goat.
Chilly Willy got a coat,
So Chilly Willy won't be chilly,
Will he?
