Someone Who Writes

The best advice I have to give,
To anyone wishing to walk...
Is to practice falling.
When that has been accomplished,
The getting up to walk...
Without thinking of it at all,
Becomes as natural...
As someone who writes.

And as uncommon as it appears to be,
Very few who walk do it without shoes.
And someone who wishes with a want to write?
Well...
It is recommended,
To always be prepared...
To enable that want to be done.
Since wasted are thoughts without a pad AND pen.
