What It Takes Sometimes

It took many turning wheels to get me here,
and countless footsteps throughout the years.
And too, I would fly from here to there from

time to time. But in reasoning the ability to
convey my presence here to you this day is
in part due to a smart slap on my backside

the doctor initially applied to get my breathing
started the day I was born. And as well, I must
give credit to my father for a more stinging and

thoughtful rebuke as he paddled my tender butt
for taking stuff which did not belong to me. This
valued lesson in life taught me most appropriately

to ask permission first, and to always say, please.
