Version III, Somewhat Poetic

This book is written many times
At once.
That is,
A scrupulous reader
Will easily extract
Every idea
Many times
From chaotic dialogues, that
Five wonder kids conducted
And
From deliberations
I have done, as well.
What do I want?
It’s to remind you
What you already know
About life in some respect.
And thus, I want to ask
Why don’t we put
Two and two together ? ! .

And now, on to our dialogues with the first graders!
