Best Platitude Poems

I'm not very good with a platitude
From my Dad I have got this attitude
Make it short, not too sweet
With the right kind of beat
And you'll have my endless gratitude!...

Curiosity sat next to the dead cat
While the horse wouldn’t be lead to water
A camel did cry looking through the needle eye
Henry the VIII had another daughter

A moss-less stone at a glass house was thrown
And the King thought he looked so cute
Then a little boy who was rude told him he stood nude
