Oh!
.
Well, never let it be said
that I don't learn something new
and stuff it in my head
every few minutes.
.
Today's second lesson?
Why, it's connected to the first.
You know the one,
Dinner will cook if you turn the burner on.
.
Not only that, whether you're looking
or not, it will continue cooking
and cooking and cooking.
and cooking and cooking.
.
When it is done
It does not shut itself off
which is not much fun
believe it or not.
.
Fortunately or unfortunately though,
it will get your attention
not by sending you a memo
but by setting off that shrieking smoke alarm.
.
Now I gotta start dinner all over again
but never fear
it won't be in vain
for I have learned today's lessons.
.
I am going to move a dining room chair
into the kitchen where I will sit
and not move so much as a hair
staring at dinner till it is ready.
.
I may often be over life's educating knee
but maybe that is why
they don't call me
a bright student for nothing.
