Bad Habits

My bad habits seem to jumble Burp and mumble My goofy ease At losing keys Good luck giving me directions My projections Of right and left Are not so deft Yet I sort whites and wash pans Recycle cans Good habits grew From loving you. 7/22/21 12 Lines in Rhyme contest Sponsor: Joseph May

They say it takes about 1 month to learn a good habit and about the same to unlearn one so you have equal chances of getting into good ones. I know you can do it. I enjoyed reading your contest entry and winner way to go. Congrats. Sara

I thought this was going to be about defective Nun's wear. Sorry I couldn't resist, sarcasm is a hard Habit to break. Kidding aside, I enjoyed your poem. Hugs Rick.

So delighted to read your self-effacing love poem, both witty and humble. I'm sure the positive influence flows both directions. Very charming.

Every nun knows bad habits are easily replaced with good habits, especially when you love yourself! Great write! Good luck in the contest!
