Repent at leisure when you marry in haste.
Never let a cat near wallpaper paste.

A 'stray thought' here: Invert the first line: Repent in haste when you marry at leisure...LOL. It works out ok, doesn't it? -- although not for this poem....Love this write, Viv, and could look at it all night! Best regards, Gershon

Good point,Gershon, but I had to stick to the original maxim. Thanks for dropping by. Regards, Viv

Love the randomness of it all. Well done, Viv. Words of wisdom indeed.

Now I am intrigued what happens to the cat. Was this truth discovered through personal experience?

Agnes, the cat managed to escape the deluge. My fault, really- cats like climbing things. Viv x
