Form And Substance

Consider the nature of a thing
it's form and function
take for instance
a squeaky floor
and a sturdy board
on one you may
tread lightly
in order to avoid its shriek
on the other
one may walk stolidly
in deference to it's strength
or perhaps deliberately clomp
to revel in the creaks and clatter
or slide along the smooth
robustness like a playful satyr
Consider the nature of a thing
it's form and function
each with it's part to play
in life's marvelous conjunction
