An Adage a Day
Oil and water do not mix.
Bones may break with stones or sticks.
Old dogs never learn new tricks,
At least that’s what they say.
Feed a fever – starve a cold.
Lunch is never free, we’re told.
Practice makes things good as gold
Claim those who hold some sway.
Two wrong things don’t make a right.
Gift horse mouths may up and bite.
Early birds and worms unite;
It happens every day.
A bird in hand beats one not caught.
By looking, you’ll find what you’ve sought.
There’s truth in adages, we’re taught;
So gather while ye may…
