The Futility of 'Should'

 

Sore foot (mentioned here) feeling much better today after

reaping the rewards of folly...

And turning 'should' into

'did' put There, a pair of shoes to wear

while splitting wood.

Jim split this pile for me.

(because when I get the axe stuck 

in a stubborn piece of firewood

it's quite a performance to un-stuck it!😟)

Oh! nothing like a picture to make us notice things...

 I should sweep 😐!!

Good choice or bad 

Well, aren’t you glad 

Each time you choose the good? 

Where oft trouble 

Is the rubble 

Of ignoring ‘Should’ 

Why is it 

That we resist it; 

Wisdom’s greater good 

Learning after 

Reckless laughter 

The shrewdness of Should 

Stumbles, tumbles, 

Fumbles, humble 

This foolhardy brood 

…long the lesson 

of confessin’ 

Disregarded Should 

What good are 

These super-star- 

Sidekicks of Could and Would 

If we never 

Take it further 

Wisdom’s whispered ‘should’ 

Good intention

The invention

Of many a 'should'

Just imagine

What attainment

If we only would

Should on its own has never accomplished a Thing!

What's on your Should-list?

(because we all have one...or should)😉
