Irish Proverb
A long life and a merry one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A good girl and an honest one.
A cold pint and another one.

Walls
Sometimes we put up walls.
Not to keep people out.
But just to see who cares,
enough to knock them down.

Utopia Dystopia
One man’s Law and order is another man’s oppression.
For an imposed utopia is a true dystopia.

Death Of A Snowflake
Irony is not lost on the dying.
As falling snowflakes no two are the same.
Endless monuments to god’s creation.
They are born in winter and die in spring.

A Cornered Rat
No matter what the enemy’s might.
The smallest of beasts will stand and fight.
Whether a cat or a mighty bear.
Confront him only if you take care.
For a cornered rat will stand and fight.
No matter what the enemy’s might.

Carp
A Carp in the fryer,
is worth far more than,
all the trout in a lake.

In a yonder canyon
Upon earth’s finest grass I sit
Scathing mature flower petals
As if to sojourn the years
When youth nestled us
Grazing our faces with happiness
