WHAT DROPS MUST GET PICKED UP

Each man falls afloor sometimes.
All it takes is gravities.

We hope to watch our fortunes climb
but often step in cavities.

Still, humans love their groups and pairs,
their consonants and vowels.

And everyone has ruffled hairs.
The pope, it's said, must move his bowels.
