Many have said “Rules Were Made To Be Broken”
Not only written rules but some which...

Life is for the living,
Life is for the loving,
Love is for the giving,
We do live vicariously,
Don't take things too seriously,
Let's make extinction extinct,
How? Let's have a think!
Work and pray for Peace,
For plebs and critters we keep,
Let's preserve more habitats,
For wildlife and people chaps,
Exile brainwashing dictators,
Breed...

Worst first name of anyone I ever met: Schmedroy....

I’ve been told, when younger,
”I could start a fight in an empty House.”
Because often “I would cloud up and rain knuckles,”
and later “was a sight for sore eyes”
Sometimes “I just had a conniption fit” and it ended there.
It’s been...

“You’re as Lost as a Goose in a Snow Storm”,
But a loggerheaded kid thought that was the norm.

 Or “What’s good for the Goose is good for the Gander”
Keep that in mind when tempted to slander.

“Never kill the Goose that lays the...

An Escarpment of memories 
Distilled into form 
Congealed to moisture 
Before the storm.

I visit vagaries of such places 
where measuring worlds 
Or matching faces 
Upon that inward surface 
Of a glassy eye, 
May bring one tears to cry.

I try to keep them from escaping

1. We, humans, belong to Earth, rather than earth belongs to us.

2. One handicap we have is our biggest organ (NOT THAT!) but our SKIN:
The skin gives us a false sense that we are separated from the environment and other life.

3. A bird in the...

If we could read the minds of others, we would end up deaf

Future is unforeseen and inescapable

Old age  expels  the judgement

We grew up with aphorisms--
Pithy, witty observations;
Some may only be sophisms
That were passed through generations.

Old but not anachronisms,
They’re still true in many nations.
They have kept their witticisms
And established strong foundations.

As I’m fond of verbalisms,
I have made some alterations,
I call them malaphorisms,
Please take them without vexations:
