DMC: "That's not all, Jane" by Kate O'Neil





THAT'S NOT ALL, JANE.

And should a ditty
change a mind
and help someone
do something kind
you’d have to have
a second thought
for though a ditty
is quite short
it works just like
a butterfly
and might move mountains
by and by.
Simple words in
simple rhyme
can ripple to
the end of time.

    Love this positive take, Kate, and especially your comparison of a ditty to a butterfly.

    Sweet continuation of Jane's poem! Love that a ditty "could help someone do something kind". =)
