WRY BITS OF WIT AND WISDOM by a master poet:

Wisdom seldom captivates a fool
and refreshing thought was never taught
by structured lessons in a school.

The reason kids might learn to lie
is signals they see from both you and me
when we create each alibi.

Behold how a gross slimy worm
becomes butterfly, to vain flutter by
unaware how it made us squirm.

This I read of the pelican;
His beak holds much more, than his gut can store
but don't say how the Hell he can.

Northern folks serve beer in mugs,
wine in fancy glass, so I'm sure they'd pass,
Georgia moonshine, straight from jugs.

Leaving tracts on euthanasia
at your granny's plate may shorten your wait
but that's still not nice in Asia.

Folks who like good water agree;
to escape the slime, up river you climb,
but still downstream of something's pee!

In the booth when you have to choose
and each choice is bad, wouldn't you feel glad
if both candidates could lose?

Lightning Bugs take gigantic flights
to winter with flair, in cold Arctic air
where they take form as Northern lights.

The very best, we'll never be!
So, why not you say when we spend our day
anesthetized by our TV!

George Custer wears six feet of dirt
cause he was so vain, on his last campaign,
he chose to wear an Arrow Shirt!

You never see a goldfish wink.
They can't close their eye, you can't see them cry
and water's all they ever drink!

Some folks sure know what's good for you
and they are a pain, when they must explain
just what you must or should not do!
