Lessons of the Day
If the cards are dealt
and you hold a pair of Treys
while the other guy is holding Aces full
you can’t ask the dealer
to slip you two more Threes
without getting shot.
If you and your friends get together
and steal the mailman’s bag, because you think
your mail might be in there, doesn’t exonerate any of you.
If you yell, “You son of a bitch.”
as you shoot a man in the heart
and then claim it’s freedom of speech
they'll hang you anyways.
If a rancher tells the cowboys
to drive 1000 head of cattle
through the church on Sunday
he will definitely burn in Hell.
If your wife tells you a secret
and you whisper it
to fifteen people at the party
you will have to pay the price.
If you borrow a four iron
from the biggest guy at the club
then refuse to return it
and hide it when he comes to collect
it will give you a new handicap.

All very true and the last had me laughing out loud!
LoL oh yes, Phil, I've been to the USA but I would never remotely pretend to know anything about America. You steam away dear poet. 💖
A new handicap. Like that guy in the commercial shot in a Tattoo parlor “ stay in your lane bro”
And if you had a habit of kidnapping Mended Fences than I hope your slick talk convinces all you just took hollow poles and wire filling holes to loss prevent cuz if they find out you captured our poet you lack the sense heaven sent cuz he might be a broke dude with only two cents there ain’t many rich poets just cool dudes content.
Now let that be a lesson to you all folks .. and well putt sir P 🙂
Thanks Neville. You left me on the green with envy.
