GRATIAS AGO TIBI.

Wise Man Say (23).

 

Do not answer the phone

When ironing.

You will burn your ear

 

Wise Man Say.

 

When throwing mud

Remember

It sticks to all surfaces.

 

Wise Man Say.

 

If you stay in the corner

How do you expect people

To see you.

 

Wise Man Say.

 

True love is a natural gift

Not a commodity to be

Bought or sold.

 

Wise Man Say.

 

If you do not speak

You cannot offend.

 

Wise Man Asks.

 

If you are on the outside

Looking in.

Or on the inside looking.

Out.

Where is the middle.

                    Kick me, but, the none too subtle sagacity in these is too good. I frankly love these. Excellently rendered with charming imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you so very much!
