contrary to pop culture’s views
news is not news
the same mistakes, another when
repeat again
our past in sentimental haze
the good old days
weren’t all good for the hell we raised
we humans are a prideful lot
our hardest lesson’s long forgot
news is not news, repeat again, the good old days

The Oviellejo is an Old Spanish verse form (derived from ovillo, a ball of yarn). A stanza consists of 10 lines, with a rhyme scheme of AABBCCCDDC. The second line of each rhyme scheme, Line 2,4,6, is short line of up to 5 syllables. The last line is a “redondilla,” a “little round” that collects all three of the short lines.

And it makes us sometimes overbearing with our children. We see it coming, they don’t, and the repetition goes on. Which is not to say we wise, all-knowing parents don’t make the same mistakes twice.

So true. I wish I had a dollar for every time I caught myself saying something my mom said to my own children! Especially those things I swore I’d never say, or do!
