THOSE WHO DESIRE TO CHEW

Those who desire to chew,
Though not feasible.
Those who seek for fame,
Though not possible.

Did not the wise book state,
"Who does not first calculate the expenses?"
Shrewd is he, that is discreet
Upon his blessings lain his defense.

Those who desire to chew
Though impossicant,
Shall he not bleed?
Oblivious to him is the word ‘Can’t’

Be sure of your legs,
Before you desire shoes.
Be sure of your teeth,
Before you desire to chew!
