with a nod to Leanne @ Writeclub for the prompt
I
Learning begins
as soon as your born
as you’ve got to waddle
across the floor
to get to your soft toys
II
Instruction
comes from your elders
touching something hot
if you don’t know what you’re doing
leads to singed little fingers
in ice cold water
III
One plus One Equals Too
English and Maths a vital skill
creativity with paints and clay and materials
Equally important
If you want to make a shelf, or a bowl or a spoon
IV
Mistakes, they say
a learning experience
particularly in the kitchen arena
no need to put two spoons of spice in – one will do
unless you’re making a fiery dish
V
Warning Signs – aren’t there for decoration
despite their bright colour
building sites aren’t adventure playgrounds
even if they look like an obstacle course
dares lead to dangerous flights – and the hospital wing
