The Common Sense – 27th January 2025

Hold your tongue to acquire
The knowledge you may desire
Make understanding your peer
With the open eye and ear

The spell to be found under
Is the rosy smell of wonder
Practice equals progress
For the taste of sweet success

Found from this point hence
The sense to make some sense
The reason to keep growing
The pursuit of further knowing
