Focus

Three young men who bred cattle in France
Chose a name for their place, not by chance.
So as not to confuse,
A small pun they did use;
Which explained everything at a glance





L5 did read: For they felt it explained at a glance

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.

Larry,

I'm afraid that this didn't make it for me; I wonder how many readers will get it without the footnote..

Also, this is a limerick, not a haiku. On the positive side, the limerick is technically well-written.

For those who still need an explanation; Focus = “Where the Sun’s rays meet” or “Where the sons raise meat”!
