And folded it into shape
What story would it tell?
And what picture would it paint?

Would it note the peaks and valleys
And everything in between?
What images would it conjure up?
What paintings would we see?

I am not a rocket scientist
You can see this on my face
But I am very certain
We all are human race

And when you feel alone
And if all has run amuck
Imagine millions unraveling napkins
And every one clearing up

And if you prefer not to be a napkin
But rather a bar of soap
What would we see when opened up
With no lies or jokes?

It must contain hurdles and obstacles
Jumped over and gone through
But even if bruised, broken, or battered
It cleans up too, just like you [comments] => 6 [counter] => 168 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Beyfoxman5 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems ) Your Poetry Dot Com - The Napkin and the Soap Bar

If you took this here napkin
And folded it into shape
What story would it tell?
And what picture would it paint?

Would it note the peaks and valleys
And everything in between?
What images would it conjure up?
What paintings would we see?

I am not a rocket scientist
You can see this on my face
But I am very certain
We all are human race

And when you feel alone
And if all has run amuck
Imagine millions unraveling napkins
And every one clearing up

And if you prefer not to be a napkin
But rather a bar of soap
What would we see when opened up
With no lies or jokes?

It must contain hurdles and obstacles
Jumped over and gone through
But even if bruised, broken, or battered
It cleans up too, just like you
