A Word to The Wise
written by: Scott C. Kaestner
On our spinning water planet
through morose oceans
en route to eternity
wise homosapiens
have said,
“Don’t try to be happier
than happy.”
“A drunk man’s words
are a sober man’s thoughts.”
“Hell hath no fury like a woman’s
… nah, hell is man’s creation.”
“You can fix stupid
but not ignorance.”
“Teach a man to fish
while I go get some sushi.”
“Life at its best is a collection
of experiences not things.”
“The last man standing is not
sleeping as much as the others.”
“Good day, good night,
let’s do it again tomorrow.”
