“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot loose.”
– Jim Elliot
Quizzical Socks
A girl in a paradoxical box
Had some amazing locks
Belonging to hair of golden brown
Composed a rich laden crown
Surprisingly, she had quizzical socks
This girl living in a paradoxical box
Though her reality is obvious to us
She remained completely oblivious
She went on her way
From day to day
Not knowing a box confined
Her oblivious state of mind
On her way she walked
Each foot with the quizzical sock
As contradictions of the way she talks
Which support the confines of her box
Though the hair can be misleading
There is a principle some aren’t seeing
Though she talks within her box
She walks with quizzical socks
Which, in other words, can be said
As others have heard or read
“You can talk the talk,
But can you walk the walk?”
So this girl in a paradoxical box
Who goes around in quizzical socks
Is she alone as she walks?
No, others wear mismatched socks
