Theories and philosophies,
Spilling at the seams
Pretend to be put together
But succeeding at no means,
Sitting and observing
I guess you’re a bit like me,
Finally someone makes sense
That should be plain to see.

&ldquo;I&#039;d rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I&#039;d rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way: The eye&#039;s a better pupil and more willing than the ear, fine counsel is confusing, but example&#039;s always clear.&rdquo; -Edgar Guest

Gosh, i ouhta stop smiling before I hurt myself. I think the line "But succeding at no means" was a little odd, probabaly should have used the word "by" as opposed to at. Other than That, i was delighted! I like this, it is simple like the name, at least in the air and rhymes of it if not subject, and somehow reminds me of myself. Great work!
