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.

Hi, Silent. My fault for putting cats , step ladders and wallpaper paste in the same room :)

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
