That And A Nickel

·Mental Journey

A professional who seems pretty smart Said my intellect was off the chart My family asked, “how’s it affect you? What does it allow you to do?” I thought long, I thought hard, About what things could start, Then I remembered What my father said to me That and a nickel Will buy you a cup of coffee. Please note, this saying is from the 1930’s. When coffee cost a nickel.

Mental Journey

I am on a journey of the mind. Contemplating the universe on every scale, and doing a complete introspective exploration. I may never be a literary academic, but I share my humble thoughts in hope that they may inspire others.
