Hi Liam, thanks for the idea, hope this brings you a smile!!!

 

As you gaze as this last photo, I should point out that scientists after having studied the flowchart, determined that her logic and shopping methods were 100% correct. I should also point out that I completely agree!

 

I was taught this at a very young age Do what’s right and never do what’s wrong Do not kill and do not steal Do not covet my best friend’s wheels Don’t try and push water up hill Stop going downtown looking for a cheap thrill Now my religion is right so the others are wrong Till this bald Buddhist told me I was a big clown He said for wisdom you must take flight I said hey funny guy I am just a kid He said be a grasshopper and then you can fly Surely I could meditate high in the sky I woke up a grasshopper, how’d he do that? I was none to pleased, I like being just a kid And that’s just a simple plain fact So I found some other grasshoppers, a million or two We swarmed all over that Buddhist true I gave him a word or some choice ones a few So he turned me back into the kid I once used to be But I ended up at Jan's place and I sure had to pee I had no idea if that was right or wrong Or if manners mattered when I relieved myself with song So now I am older, and hopefully wiser I know what is right and I know what is wrong! Cause I have me a wife, who helps me to know And if I forget shed kick me out in the snow Right is so simple, it’s easy to see When a women speaks, its right and don’t you contradict me When a man ever tried, in any way to disagree Well the man is as wrong as wrong can only be So a women are always right, a man always wrong A Mans happiness is knowing this silly Buddhist song

Good one Arthur... though it appears to be humorous on the whole, it carries a good lesson on the rights and wrongs ....

This one is very well stitched together with style and grace brought together by your poetic soul. This poem is structured well and flows wonderful. You use good imagery and maintain a poetic flow throughout the whole piece. Good story, good poem. It flows well and holds your interest from start to finish. Emile.

I must confess that it took me a while to get through your entertaining photo gallery before I was able to read your poem, which was also entertaining. Love your humor, Arthur!

Haha, this was clever, the pictures hilarious. I was really impressed with the first stanza, you could have taken this piece seriously or comically and you mixed it in the middle with both. you're awesome.

It's a wise man who uses this as a guiding principle. I'm sure life is much smoother this way. Loved the memes with this one!
