The Rule of 5

I don’t like rules

they don’t like me


they do have their place

in the world of my home


for the stack of papers

that need filed and fixed


the ironing waits

‘til I need clean clothes


so five at a time

each stack gets done


I don’t always play by 

the rules that I’ve made


but once started, momentum

takes care of the rest.


“Any fool can make a rule

And any fool will mind it.”

~ Henry David Thoreau, Journal #14
