Two tiny teardrops
rolling down your face.
Right tear or left tear,
which will win the race?

Whichever one is faster,
the winner they shall be;
their prize, a sticking plaster
and a kiss upon your knee.

Thanks, Scratch. I think everyone remembers their mum putting a plaster on their knee after they've fallen. It's one of those things that sticks in my memory anyway.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

It's a really great poem well-wisher, can I make one (tiny) suggestion? Change "the" for 'your' (penultimate word) I think that it would just make the poem a little more personal and even more perfect if that's possible.

Thanks, Scratch. I've taken your advice and made the alterations you suggested.
