Wise Man Say (24)

Poetic Licence


Notice of absence from Poetic Licence
They Think It Is All Over.
Sad to say it is now.
Take Care.

Wise Man Say (24).

 

When a dog licks its balls

This horrifies the woman.

But

Makes the man jealous.

 

Wise Man Say.

 

Do not be afraid too

Cry.

The salt will heal the

Wounds.

 

Wise Man Say.

 

When you have steam coming out

Of your ears.

Turn the kettle off.

 

Wise Man Say.

 

Don't be an oyster in

Life

Come out of your shell.

 

Wise Man Say.

 

Don't take life too seriously.

Because it will play many.

Jokes on you.

    Good, wise write, Tobani.

    Exactly, Tobani! You know I love these in their entirety.This one is just a brilliant. Each “wise man” bit lands like a wink and a nudge, but still leaves something to real to chew on, as they always do. Always a pleasure to read this series and your work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                Forsooth. Too many years ago my brothers' line was something very like, "... whoa! Let some steam off him!" Pity we cannot indulge in a cuppa Barry's thanks to a heated exchange, haha. And oh the jokes, indeed, played on the souls who can't avoid taking themselves too seriously. Delightfully rendered with excellent imagery and good humor, and a definitely haunting poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing.
