A LITTLE SWITCH

If we had an extra switch;
that we could press, or turn, or twitch;
To pump it up; or make it lack;
Or shut if off, or bring it back;
Make it fast; or slow it down;
Change the color; or the sound;
Make it taller, wider, shorter;
Make it our way in short order;
Make it spin, or stretch, or pour;
Wonder what wed use it for?
Turn the sprinklers on a salesman?
Unlock cells and thwart the bailsman?
Inspire passion? Clean the sink?
Make us disappear, you think?
Would we put a sign on it:
so everyone could play with it?
(Or would we hide it well away
For fear of what the neighbors say)?
If we had a little switch;
that could scratch most any itch;
Wonder when we got the knack;
How fast wed want to switch things back?
Imagine if we all could do;
Everything we wanted to!
Wed need a global switch-off truce;
To curb excessive random use!
Then the police would come one day;
And take our little switch away!
Ending all our togging fun;
Alas, farewell, the tale is done!

Nicely done Jaye :D
A quirky and skipping rhythm with joyful hops and clops and many stops! I wonder if you write such unqiuely easy-to-read
material, with such meaningful message, because of the nature of your teaching has helped to really utilize words we rarely consider helpful; because I see writes like this from you with everyday language, that couldn/'/t be held back, even if they were sleeping! It reminds me of a song I rather enjoy, in which there/'/s a sample at the beginning of the song:
//"And what they do is, they remind you of the beauty of simple things. You spend so much time, going from A to Z, that you forget that there/'/s 24 letters inbetween."// |

I think you over-used your talent switch. You better turn it off because we are all looking bad.
Bravo once again.
