If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And stay mysterious about the loss; - Kipling's poem 'If' Kipling as you may know was an English man who spent much of his life in British India when at that time, a young Englishmen could become rich virtually overnight. So the poem is of sorts on character building In today's world, (after decades of character, that has not worked for me) my If poem is.. If I had the knowledge I now have, some thirty years ago I would have married the girl who loved me, although my pockets were empty Still not so bad, there's abundance love here To enjoy them as proxy

I think knowledge and experience are reciprocal to time factor.

If a moment is seized like a rusty old bolt, the clocks tock can be teased with a tick tickling jolt.

If my dog, reincarnated as human Then how would he learn arithmetic Bow is one and Wow is 2 Bow Wow Wow is two times two If you are wondering where this came from, I met this elderly lady during this morning walk (It's 9 am now) and at a distance, she moved her hand slightly; so then we waved to each other. As we neared, she moved her hand slightly but in a different way. No words were exchanged and we crossed amiably. So if humans can play dumb and get along, why can't chimps pumped with some hormones in their brains, speak and dogs count?

If I waited long enough, My darling would appear, Moment she sees these rhymes She may quite disappear Should I write or should I not Young Neelamz fate I share O Hercules, Kick off this pen The weight of earth I shall bear
