Premium Member When the Sun Peeps Out
Darkness is darkest before the dawn
     This time, folks say, the adage is wrong

   But when the sun peeps out from behind the clouds
     A cheer erupts from the expectant crowd...

There's a man with some folks in his thrall

who is adamant about a wall.

Don't be rough on the prez;

like the one adage says:

It is better "say nothing at all."

A Pinch of Salt
Take life with a pinch of salt
So the old adage goes
So follow the advice
Take it from one who knows
Take life with a pinch of salt
Take it from a wise fella
Just follow it with a slice of lemon
And a good shot of tequila...

Martha Stewart
There once was a domestic diva named Stewart,
Who started a decorating empire and grew it.
It seems everthing she touched turned to gold,
Until she fell victim to that adage of old;
She succumbed to greed and promptly blew it....

A Child Once Thought
A new 
adage. Who was 
infallible ? 
Because there was no space.

*

The final 
journey, begins 
for beyond 
the infinite.

*

Where the gods 
live, there was- 
a small particle, waiting 
to expand.

Education
I lied to do a GCE History
saying it was okay to proceed
on the adage of my Year Head
only then to get a grade A
Its hard to be unaided dyslexic
when I ask myself now
would GCE English Language
have been acceptable for an equal foray...

Irene and Sandy

Irene and Sandy proceed with vengeance
Halloween Sea witches venturing close to shore
In search of mortal men; revenge on the Eastern shores.

Quite runs smooth, as the old adage goes: quote...

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....

Premium Member Tat Tvam Asi - That Thou Art
an old adage affirms, ‘I Am That’
perhaps a clarification is needed
‘I Am That and That is not in mind’

So drop thought, ego begot
Abiding in absolute silence
That false identity drops
Revealing eternal truth

Recognition is the key

Cant
An old adage that is good
Goes like this: “Can’t never Could”

Don’t say “can’t”; if never tried
Saying “can’t” may be a lie

Try those tasks outside you skill
If you succeed, what a thrill

Can’t a word that I just hate
“I’ll try it”, now that sound great!...

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....
