THREE OLD MONK POEMS (379)
I DON'T BEND
I don't bend over backwards
to read upside down,
the old monk told his students.
~
IF I COULD THROW
If I could throw
a ninety-mile-an-hour fastball,
the old monk said,
I wouldn't be able to
throw my curve.
~
YOU HAVE TO
You have to work out
the deals with yourself
before you can work them
out with the devil,
the old monk said.
