And we need the wisdom of others <br />for instance, this week <br />I'm eating sunflower seed bread <br /> <br />and suppose that no-one had told me <br />that just like those cutesy baby tapeworms <br />sunflower seeds made themselves at home <br />and grew like men having babies <br /> <br />until one day, someone would say good morning <br />and you'd open your mouth and just like <br />one of those happy film cartoons <br />out would pop a big yellow sun flower as <br />an answer <br /> <br />worse still if you were strolling round <br />a Van Gogh show and someone asked you <br />what you thought of them <br />and thought you were taking the mickey <br />like some Disney moment <br /> <br />yes we need other people's wisdom <br />to live safely I mean <br />why don't they grow like tapeworms, <br />do you know, smartypants?<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-flowery-smile-a-smiley-flower/
