A Selection of Couplets

The purpose of his life was never fully clear

Nevertheless he kept on living year after year

 

It takes a million teardrops to fill a pail

But only one to tell the tale

 

Your constant nagging will reduce me to tears

Like water wears down the rock over the years

 

She was standing strong and proud

But all alone within that crowd

 

Nobody knows when it’s time to go

But go we must, that’s all we know

 

While the many are controlled by the few

One alone could topple the few, if only he knew

 

I always thought I knew it all

But that was before my fall

 

My life with you is like a beautiful long dance

Am forever grateful you decided to take a chance

 

Veni vidi vici – life can be so much fun

Even at seventy I am far from done
