Rebirth of Adages

Old adages, Growing older with ages, Wrapped inside, Torn books, And periodicals, A dislike grown out of over their use, And failures after their use, And their newness in old times, Had bundled into hatred, Adage repositories, Were thrown in attics that be, And remained there for untold years, Curiosity unburied them now, Discovery was stunning, And shaking, Adages came waking, Each word was born anew, And had a wonderful meaning, More importantly they were ancient wisdom, We must learn lessons from the past, Our own adages, Must be understood now and here, And not buried, For "them" to read years later "there".
