Principles,values,ethics,mottoes
Like sparkling,vivid emeralds
In my gloomy,sumptuous mansion
Possessively linger to sojourn
Endeavor yet to decamp from my cocoon
Revamp,acclimatize and be apologetic to
This eccentric,zany and turbulent world
Break away and from routine commute
And I like a moth taken with a candle
Decline to stand at my grave sob and grieve
Rather shepherd,escort and usher them
And to their cosy nest redirect
For psychedelic drugs could not nurture
Eggshell,porcelaneous souls nor satiate.

My Father used to say:
A shot to the mouth often offends
also
You can lead me by a silk but dont drive me with a stick
also only many issues e.g.
Don't say you worked down the coal mines for 27 years
when you had 25 years off in the middle.
also
Nothings bad that could that could not be worse
also
They'll eat them dry next time.
We live forever, or almost;
As long as stone may last,
Engraved with mottoes, carved to boast
Our passing and our past.
We last as long as stone survives,
Encrusted with green scales;
We last beyond our little lives
As long as stone prevails.
