Short Shrewdness Poems

A-n ant though small has brains, 
M-en on one hand have brawny arms; 
E-ven if men have big muscles
L-ots of them little ant harms.

B-eautiful lady likes shrewdness, 
R-ecognizing sense and reason; 
O-n twenty-third September, 
N-ice to prefer brains over brawn....

Persistent for truth, he
   probes to find the answers.
      Perceiving, his judgment
         penetrates with shrewdness.
            Prepared and accurate,
               prodigious in his work,
                  part skill, part detective.

A born grace seeks duty,
Aphrodite isn't shade,
Apollo's gift of sight,
A Freudian vexed deems,
Athena shrewdness lair,
Also defeated dread,
Ares symbol of war.

The shrewdness of the shrew
Out of place on her
Would better be placed 
Upon a gentle woman
Of genteel character

This shrew of a woman
Abused by a man in her childhood
Angry all the time
Doesn't even know why herself
The only thing she knows 
Is she is angry at this man




In the process of thought........

A shrewdness of man                                                                                                                        is not to ape the wicked                                                                                                                             that is the wisdom...

The shrewdness of apes delights me so
I barely know where to turn, when to go.
They are more fun than a drift of hogs.
Who smell to high heaven, worse than dead frogs.

There is a school of fish that bothers me too.
They live next to the foxes in the hollow boot shoe.
Labor of moles are rolling their eyes at my plight.
Luckily the pride of lions has chosen to stay out of sight....
