AFFAIRS OF THE HEART
As twins, we knew without a doubt
We’d always help each other out
We shared a "twinly" point of view
We each know what we each must do
When we were in our first grade class
We learned to read so we could pass
A Reading Test the teacher said
Would help to make us all well read
My sister’s turn then came to read
Her silence signaled me the need
To stand before the class and utter
"Teacher, she can’t help but stutter!"
With pain I watched her face turn red
Occasioned by the words I’d said
Oh, how I wished I could erase
Those words which now seemed
out of place
We know the scarecrow suffered pain
Because he thought he had no brain
Sometimes it is not very smart
To try to think with just the heart!
