Cautionary Couplets

CAUTIONARY COUPLETS I hazard it has many times been said That we have never lived if we’ve not bled If you attest a life of no regret I’ll wager you have never placed a bet If in your time you never crash and burn You miss an opportunity to learn If you forever seek to others blame Well they may seek to ever wipe your name If you choose peace at all cost you may see A subjugated life of tyranny If love is all, in truth I promise that With careful seasoning I’ll eat my hat If you aver you never told a lie I’ll guarantee the moon’s a pizza pie If you contend you never commit sin Then join this club of one, they’ll let you in

Some real food for thought here Geoffrey. The greatest mistake anyone can ever make is to be afraid of making one in the first place...Life is real just like your words....and I bet you £50 I can give up gambling.

Geoffrey, A Couplet with sense in an age of nonsense. "If you contend you never commit sin ~~ Then join this club of one, they’ll let you in". That is a very exclusive club. "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member." -Groucho Marx
