The Ins and Outs of It

Door and Cloud  Rene Magritte
Whimsy on Doors

by Helen Harrington


Doors are a wonderful invention
second to the wheel! Open one
at certain times and you will let
fresh air in,
a guest as sweet as Spring, saying
has been
walking among flowers or marshes.
If a gush
of Winter comes, you can - in a
rush -
close it quickly with a fervent bang!
You'll like doors - once you get the
hang
of how they work! They have the
terrific clout
to give two different worlds - In
and Out -
to you, at will. The trick, now and
again,
is knowing what to do with them -
and when!
