Challenge! Adages by Betty Eskdale

I didn't realize there was a challenge page, so I am checking off the challenge box, if you want to find other challenges go to Autumn Braun's site where they are listed.

I would like to have some fun with all of you who are willing. Let's dig out some old adages and put them into verse. I'll go first:

Marry in haste, repent at leisure
One man's junk is another man's treasure;
Adages we hear through life
Designed to aid avoiding strife.

Some folks never get it right
It's just a rhyme that they recite;
In one ear and out the other
Makes you wonder why we bother.

Sometimes, sudden dawn of light
Makes it all become so right;
Oh, so that is what it meant
A different thought than my intent.

Clever verses come to mind
And take over thinking of the useful kind
A rolling stone gathers no moss they say,
Eat an apple every day.

A fool and his money soon are parted,
Heaven Bless the broken hearted,
Penny wise, pound foolish; What’s it mean?
Make sure your underwear is clean.

Instead of using the brains God gave
I act as though I were a slave
Letting verse rule my decision
I open myself to others' derision.

Think for yourself; it’s good because
They are only Guidelines; they are not Laws.
