Geoffrey Brewer Poet Couplet

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

Gary Radice March 22, 2021 at 11:51 AM 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 Brewer March 23, 2021 at 9:46 AM Bet accepted, with thanks.

Quoth Theraven March 22, 2021 at 8:33 AM 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 Geoffrey Brewer March 23, 2021 at 9:49 AM Ah! The wisdom of Groucho.
