old man

your words come to me as a variation on — simon says

 

     simon says the pond's ripple

     is but a stone's throw away

 

simon says

 

     tea on a cold morning

     is enough

 

simon says

 

     if you want to meet yourself coming out the door 

     rush, rush, rush

 

your wisdom is sage

but if you care to help me

 

     please

    hold the door

Very good. I love the first simon says. In fact I love them all. Clearly these replies are worthy of any sage.
