I enjoyed this playful pep talk about a Reality Check. It has a nice ABCB rhyme scheme and alliteration of S's and T's. A good lesson to everyone. 8-)

Great poetic observation.
It even has tones of a 'life lesson' as well.
Simple rhyme made the point clear and enjoyable to read.
As always, a pleasure to read.
Good job.

Comment from Honeysuckle1876
Wonderful piece of writing and great advice to boot. I wish I could get my children to understand this concept. Great job. You said a lot in very few words which takes great talent. Love reading your work and learning from your writing.

Comment from Jeanie Mercer
This is excellent advice to all those hoping for shortcuts or to be rescued by one Superman or another. I see Sawyer has it figured out, and I'm not surprised. Another fun poem. Love, Jeanie

Comment from SteveY
That may all be very true, but don't try and tell that to this child! Superman should be swooping in at any moment:) Excellent as always.

What a skilled writer you are. The artful manner you used in delivering this truism is so smooth that no one could possibly take offense. It is exactly the kind of no nonsense advice that some of the less inspired persons in the wolrd need to hear. Not in a preachy way, but exactly the way that you spoke it. Great job.

Comment from Capricorn30
Oh, isn't that the truth?
A well-penned analogy of life;
"only ticket to the top";
"comes one rung at a time";
What is applied to childhood fun can also be applied to adulthood--we succeed one step at a time, slow and sure.
