A dirt path parallels a river as it makes its way through the trees while browns and yellow leaves lay scattered across it.

“If I had thought about it, I wouldn’t have done the experiment. The literature was full of examples that said you can’t do this.” — Dr. Spencer Silver

Lets expose it
The benefits of a post-it
Colorful paper squares compose it
And a little bit of adhesive holds it
Up against gravity which is of the utmost importance

Create with it what you will
Remind yourself of your 1 on 1 with Bill
Draw a bezier curve the resembles a hill
Prioritize your features with skill
Up against gravity a unique thrill

Lets expose it
The benefits of a post-it
Colorful paper squares compose it
And a little bit of adhesive holds it
Up against gravity which is of the utmost importance

Place it here or move it there
Ideate on it do not be scared
Think about how what is written compares
See the ideas that are shared
Up against gravity for all to stare

Lets expose it
The benefits of a post-it
Colorful paper squares compose it
And a little bit of adhesive holds it
Up against gravity which is of the utmost importance

When no longer needed it can be taken down
Though there is no need for a frown
Thanks to Silver and Fry we can find more in most towns
A piece of paper that rarely hits the ground
Up against gravity a story quite profound

Lets expose it
Well by now you knows it
The benefits of persistence and how you shows it
