Platitudes of Gratitude

Platitudes of gratitude
       reveal a shallow attitude
  
     A plentitude of finger food
       does not result in pulchritude

     Multitudes of semi-nudes
       enhance a life of turpitude

     Inaptitude and incertitude
       pave the path of ineptitude

These are some good ones. I enjoyed reading them. There was one that I ran across many years ago that went like this "most people rise to their level of incompetency". Thanks for all the visits to my page. Sara

One thing you have in abundance (and I mean it in a good way, gw) is attitude! Now, the rush to my dictionary!
