Life’s Lessons

We learn to talk
And how to read
And how to walk
And how to feed

And how to dance
And how to play
And deal with chance
Night and day

We learn of Poe
And Burns and Keats
Of victory
And of defeat

And how to court
And how to dance
And how to have
A great romance

We learn the truth
And of excuse
And even how
To reproduce

So would somebody
Please say why
No one teaches
How to die
