Words of Advice

Absurd as it may sound
Appreciate life as it is found
Admirable thought and profound.

Cat on the wall
Caught in its caterwaul
Costly mistake of wrong choice

Emits a purr and a mew
Engineer  scraps design for new
Excellent cast of the dies.

Golden blessings from above
Generous dolings of love
Genial nature without lies.


Iris is the window of soul
Iota of envy is the mole
Irritable mind leads to guiles.

Kindly is the heart of compassion
Knock  down the doors of ostentation
Kink of the mind conscience defiles.

Orange and apple are unalike
Over these comparison don't strike
Order of creation differences implies.

Lastly, of my wisdom with words
Use your pens instead of swords
Hope all I've said is wise advice.
