Forsooth!

Does grass compare itself
    to a tree?

Does a tree flinch at the filching of a finch ---
   or at the violent kiss of a woodpecker?

Does vermin determine
 the best place to learn in?

Does a fly sigh at the sight
   of its mate's flight?

And where does a carnation
   plan to go on vacation?

Why do humans worry
about every little thing?
It is all forgotten in a century's passing.

Live, laugh. love,
   forgive and believe you are forgiven.

And don't wander too far from  hOMe.
