Best Better Safe Than Sorry Poems


Premium Member Picture This
Picture life in heaven
perhaps it's time to try
Better safe than sorry
And live with God,on high;
Picture all the people,
Loving day, by day

Picture there,a wedding
a supper with a feast
where the last is first
and the grandest is the least;
Picture all the people,
Loving day, by day

You may say I...

Premium Member How's Your Old Ticker Ticking
How's your dear old ticker ticking
When's the last time you had it checked
If it's been a while then get right to it
Better safe than sorry by heck

Us old guys need to keep on top of it
Procrastination can be a deadly thing
Knew a man who's now...

Welcome Back To School
It is almost that time,
the summer is disappearing in the skies.
Have to make sure I am able to educate,
teaching writing to the youth is how I elevate.
I have:
my lesson plan book,
a pretty business suit,
2 pens and a pencil,
a cup of coffee in hand,
Welcome Back to...

Criminals-- Part 5
After the ware house we decided to
seperate for a week or two
I grabbed a brew down on Girard
avenue 
thats right where you can still see 
the ghost tormenting all but the so-called
sinners.
My trip out of town will be a different
kind of assembly, a couple of...

A Safe State of Affairs
Better safe than sorry?
Fallacy.
I say, better sorry than safe.
Even if brought, calamity.
Safe never dreams.
Safe never changes.
Safe found no new thing, new places,
a new people's strangeness.
New cultures, new stars, new planets.
Safe hides in fortified sameness.
Safe only discovered a sandy smile.
Flightless, oversized bird that it is.
Safe killed...

The words I give you are sound
They have been my comfort
They have been my companion

Be Slow to speak and quick to listen

Always respond and never react to a crisis
Never panic always...

Premium Member Just Another Cliche
Only time will tell the outcome of this rhyme,
Whether it will succeed in the nick of time.
So better safe than sorry, as they say,
A good beginning makes a good ending, I pray. 

I’ll write a little bit of this and a little bit of that,
All...

Premium Member Woman In Gilded Cage
Better safe than sorry, some claim it to be.
This gilded cage that can deceive.

Safe the woman held within, whom may never
spread her wings or sail in the wind.

The safety of this gilded cage hinders, 
those scared or forced to stay.

A potential so great may never...

Premium Member Black Widow Spider
I'm smaller and harmless if I'm male
and I have no venom. I'm dangerous 
and much bigger if I'm female. It's hard 
to tell my sex, so I avoid me all together
Better safe than sorry!

I look innocuous. I'm no bigger than 
the size of a Brazil...

Lessons Learned



Forgive but never forget, 
Don't sweat the small stuff.
What goes around comes around,
Always think of the big picture.
Lessons Learned

Don't throw stones at glass houses,
The grass isn't always greener.
Appearances are not always what they seem,
A pretty smile is not a welcoming heart.
Lessons Learned

Appreciate the moment,
Love...

Tomorrow Is the Tenth Anniversary of 9-11
The Tenth Anniversary of 9-11 is Tomorrow

By Elton Camp

There are many who don’t know what to do
It’s possible that individual panic will ensue
And to be open about it, I would have to admit
If I lived in NYC or DC, I would be having a fit

Perhaps...

Manhunt
Close the city! Stop the cars!
Folks should stay inside
While the police determine where
The bomber chose to hide.

Shut the airport! Halt the trains!
Cancel all you’ve planned;
There’s a madman on the loose,
So all should understand.

If I lived near Boston, though,
I think I’d be annoyed.
All the day’s appointments
Would...

The preparations were almost complete when Lumi reappeared down stairs.  He seemed preoccupied and burnished an all encompassing smile across his face.
