Whimsy on Doors
Doors are a wonderful invention
second to the wheel! Open one
at certain times and you will let fresh air in,
a guest as sweet as Spring, which has been
walking among flowers or marshes. If a gush
of Winter comes, you can - in a rush -
close it quickly with a fervent bang!
You’ll like doors - once you get the hang
of how they work! They have the terrific clout
to give two different worlds - In and Out -
to you, at will. The trick, now and again,
is knowing what to do with them - and when!
