An Adage Add-On

a penny saved is
a penny earned. just make sure
you spend it wisely,
give to the charity of
your choice and pay your taxes.

Like My Father Said Or the Old Adage Goes

As the old adage goes

Or the forefathers say

Never discuss

Religion

Or

Politics

Unless you enjoy

Your own company

It's never a given, what you've got;
it's all assigned or taken away by lot:
whatever joy, whatever pain ~
whatever loss, whatever gain ~
whether you deserve it ~ or not.

Does your conniption fit?

If it's not a laughing matter, then it's not important. 

Did you ever notice that when you stir a glass of something, the spoon says, "Jibiddy jibiddy jibiddy jibiddy"?

Worst first name of anyone I ever met: Schmedroy.

An Adage "if One and Two.." Expands From Three To Ten.

If
one is a coincidence,
and
two is a trend.
Then...
Three is an emerging pattern.
Four is a set schedule.
Five is an unwritten rule.
Six is conventional wisdom.
Seven is accepted practice.
Eight is standard procedure.
Nine is etched in stone.
Ten is the law of the land.

Adage

R-eminding you of one
O-ld and well known
S-aying that expresses
E-ach truth that has grown.

E-arly eighth of September, 
S-ave a penny to earn; 
T-hrift is coupled with hard work, 
A-n early bird gets the worm.
N-ever forget the maxim, 
I-n spite of your age; 
L-et the proverb preach
L-esson from every 
A-dage.
