The Consequences of Failing to Prep
Have you noticed how all of our
exhausted swifts
are having such a hard time of it ..
That late last clutch, may mean
the death of them
and it has not even snowed yet ..
No matter how good yours were,
nothing and no one can prepare you
for parenthood, or for winter ..

Perhaps I am being a simpleton, I felt the poem to be an eloquent portrayal of unexpected turn of events and how they catch us off guard, no matter how much we believe we are well prepared. Loved it
You are no simpleton sir, you are however very much appreciated & always welcome here .. Regards, Neville
Thank you!
So true Neville, we must just experience it as you cannot teach experience.

Thank you Andy 👍
Good write N. Witty fido says 'To fail to prepare is to prepare to fail'. Banjamin Franklin - though some sources say he didn't say it originally. In which case, probably Fido said it originally, he that fount of wisdom, knowing 99% of all there is to know, having an anthology of 5 million proverbs, witty sayings, etc!
Fido I mean, not me. lol.
Also 'To beat an egg is to have an egg beaten'. (Eh? lol).
Sum times Steven, you just beat me 🐧..🐭..
That's true, my friend, "nothing and no one can prepare you, for parenthood, or for winter .." I fully agree with you, best wishes
Glad for the thumbs up and that we are on the same side .. Cheers my friend .. Neville 👍
I can say I was unprepared a few times....lol at the time, it sucked. But worked out for the best at the end. Now I keep my guard up
hahaha. Great write and another good read.
thanks teardrop .. I guess if it worked out for the best in the end, then it was meant to be .. another muchly appreciated visit my friend .. Neville 😎💛👍
Had my children early and that had its problems too. Too early or late in the season is not good for survival but they don't teach parenting in school and even if they did no one would pay attention. Maybe I missed that class. As for winter I'm prepared but the snow's coming late this year. Loved the poem Neville
There are ten whole years between our two .. to be honest, I had a job to raise either a smile or an eyebrow throughout that most memorable decade .. thank you 😎👍
Neva had God ferbids for which I am supremely grateful..........
..... I'm gonna do an orchi and inscribe here: 'Good write N'.
I understand our dilemma .. maybe 😎👍
To much preparation can be to confusing, making the mistakes and amending is the best way to learn, enjoyable read Neville, Thank you
