A limerick
"Smiles *like* toothpaste," his mother had said, But life's simplest truths sailed over his head. So, the fool refused to brush his teeth- Not those above, nor those beneath... And when they crumbled, he frowned sadly instead.

Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
