Wise Man Say (27).

 

Wise Man Say.

 

If you do not like getting burnt

Then Don’t play with fire.

 

Wise Man Say.

 

If you cannot see what

you want to see.

Try opening your eyes.

 

Wise Man Say.

 

If you are bleeding.

Beware of the sharks.

 

Wise Man Say.

 

If you keep tripping up

Do not worry,

You will know more than

Other people,

Because you will have your ear

Closer to the ground.

 

Wise Man Say.

 

You cannot fall a fool

But you can become a fool.

 

Wise Man Say.

 

A perfect life is impossible

A happy life is manageable.

 

Tobani August 2025.

    Hahaha! I do love these pithy sayings niggling at sense to cull a bit of wisdom. They're too fun! Charmingly rendered with excellent imagery and a delightful humor. Thank you so very, very much for sharing.

    As humans, we are always chasing that holy grail, when in theory we should be living life.
    Got a feeling as humans we search for our existence which seems to take a lifetime.

    A fine write PL. lol.
    My wise man also say - The difficult can be done eventually; the impossible takes a bit longer'!
    Also he asks - What is green and brown, and if it fell out of a tree on you, it would kill you? And he replies, No not a large tree branch, but a snooker table!' Heehee. Oh it's nutty!

  • Thomas W Case

    Superb work.

    The wise man states the obvious, the fool never sees it. You tell it beautifully!
