Analysis of Milk For The Mind
Beyond fables
water tables
quench a dry tongue-tie.
Sink a straw
to drink and draw
from boundless supply.
Beyond fables
kitchen tables
serve hearts' bled fine spread.
Grab a chair
to talk and share
of yarns yet unthread.
Beyond fables
content tables
barren kind will find.
Read a book
to nurse and look
at milk for the mind.
