An old saying turned into a children's poem.
'Out of sight' means 'out of mind'
Is proclaimed as one of the ways,
To avoid the issues one may find,
For hours, if not days.

Just to keep oneself from seeing
A common, pesky problem,
Ignores the reason for its being,
Cures those ills - resolves 'em.

But just as someone climbs a ladder,
The rungs are likely stable -
Taking steps should make you gladder;
Acting 'cause you're able...

Take it from the ostrich
Whose head is in the sand -
Life is much more than an itch;
It shows you where you stand...
