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.

HAIKU MAXIMS FOR EVERYDAY OFFICE AND FIELD WORKS
Clerical errors
Must be on the part of clerk
Unless you’re the boss
Hastiness leads to
Unproductiveness of work
Thus, leads to disgrace
Never say “I can’t”
For doing it is your call
Thoughtless man says it

HAIKU MAXIMS FOR EVERYDAY TRANSACTIONS
To deal with someone
Don’t volunteer the problem
Let them ask for it
When you want to get
All the results in one time
Get the checklist once
If you want trouble
Create enemies, but if
Not, create friendships

HAIKU MAXIMS FOR EVERYDAY DEALING WITH YOUR BOSS
If you want to hear
Your boss decreases his voice
Quickly admit your fault
The sigh of your boss
Is a sign of frustration
Caused by your follies
Always treat your boss
As professional, and be
Not too familiar

As if you tether the thesis
I posit you with lines and signs
as if eternity could be planned
hasten you with delimited maxims
may there be a strain
in my heart that echoes
will it dwell needful in my tone?
amidst burns
angle, design, logic
lie the ashes of
had been, is, would be

Wit shapes funny fit
Jigsaw puzzle bits
As you freely leap
Don't you fall asleep
Tell the plain truth well
Watch gaudy lies dwell
Watch wild wonder well
Timely treasure tells
Destiny moves fate
Glimpse that open gate
Can less be more here
Craft lines that string cheer

Speak your plain truth
Let act sign proof
Dare then to be
Love now set free
Pleasure knows pain
Yet not in vain
Beauty says much
In poignant touch
Come ink fine draft
As words move craft
Let will find thrill
The way you feel
Heart knows fine start
Ink stains move art

Jealousy finally persuades her victims,
Making them resort to the evilest deeds
No good words or plausible maxims
Will uproot jealousy’s dangerous weeds.
Once planted in the cold weakened heart
They mature as suspicions and doubt,
Raising a strong impenetrable rampart
Until deeds of hatred flesh them out.

Axioms, maxims, and precepts
The big seven
Road to self-mastery
All is mind
As above, so below
As below, so above
Everything moves
Vibrating between the poles
Flowing like a river
For every effect, there is a cause
Thus, cause and effect
Feminine and masculine principles
Day and night
Hot and cold
Neverending natural continuum
Perpetual flux
Nothing endures but change

Live well each day
Prize thus fond play
Love all you meet
Greet with smiles sweet
Words sometimes fail
To blaze true trail
Be of good cheer
Faith scares harsh fear
Look out and see
Love helps you be
Eye to eye then
You know not when
In a swift turn
The pyre now burns
Seek yo know truth
Then live fine proof

Funk bedunk me sterile mind
A kind not built for corporate wild
Style not fitting compromise
Wrecked the dreamer full beguiled
Pickled mind no way returned
Worked away the essence burned
Told the lies to keep the path
Exposed the truth the lying math
Then you see your brother die
Still in bondage to the chase
Maxims never justify
Growing old and losing face

Dare to live well:
Watch how time tells.
~~~~~~~~~
Live without fear:
Love holds you dear.
~~~~~~~~~
The way you see:
Choice comes to be.
~~~~~~~~~
Love moves all things:
Watch moments fling.
~~~~~~~~~
Focus and see:
Set clear thought free.
~~~~~~~~~
Feel peace of mind:
Keep sync in kind.
~~~~~~~~~
A maxim clear:
Live zesty cheer.

Verities poems expose
Voicing realities
Valued by the spirit
Vows of heart, woes of soul
Valiant faith smiting doubts
Virtues, maxims, adage
Volumes found in Scriptures.*
*2Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Deviation
When I saw it, my eyes popped
Something so clean, so shiny
Not a gentle ray, but a stinging beam
Something with the energy to ignite my brain
And blind it into a vitreous aura
Disconnect it from its elder
Unravel it's capsule
Stray from safety
Indulge in the friction
It's not a puppet, it's a death wish
Something to anger our maxims
But it takes space
It takes money
It takes time
It takes labour
It takes life
It may act with nature, but it isn't alive
