If I have learned one thing in life The one thing that in life I've learned It does no good to foster strife, You only end up getting burned. But yet another lesson lingers I cannot thrive without some striving. I sometimes find I've singed my fingers, But that's the price of sweet surviving. I hope they'll say when I unfold He lived his life more hot than cold.

I've Learned a Thing or Two -- a Sonnet
If I have learned one thing in life The one thing that in life I've learned It does no good to foster strife, You only end up getting burned. But yet another lesson lingers I cannot thrive without some striving. I sometimes find I've singed my fingers, But that's the price of sweet surviving. I hope they'll say when I unfold He lived his life more hot than cold.
