Row row row your boat...Saturday, May 2nd, 2020
...gently down the stream. Merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream.
Seriously, has anyone actually heeded this advice? I mean, has anyone actually gotten a boat and sailed down a stream. Was the stream moving or stagnant? What was the condition of the boat? And what about the person navigating that boat? What state of mind were they in? Happy? Nirvana? Hopeless? Lost?
These are the types of rhymes and sayings that can make you wonder how they came about and why we take them for granted?
