That rhyming helps memory should shock none.
It’s something we learned when very young.
Through nursery rhymes, songs, and limericks we flew,
To learn days of the week and months of the year too.
I judge not the simplicity of the study of this trick,
But wonder what else rhyming might make stick.
Could kindness, compassion, and charity be taught
With the same ease as letters, or is it for naught?
Such rhymes may exist, but their magic seems lost,
So we keep on forgetting and must pay the cost.
Not sure why this mood has struck me today,
but I hope that this rhyming may brighten your way.
For now then I’ll leave you with one final thought:
We all are repaid for the kindness we’ve wrought.
