Don’t tell me about the flutter of a butterfly wing
When I’m having trouble breathing
Gourmet meals are not for me
I am not into blood lines
Dog droppings don’t need flies
but attract them in abundant measure
Too many dogs on a warm summer day
can be the cause of impaired visibility
Idiosyncrasies are not excuses
when the work has not begun
Wishes for ponies meaningless
before the stalls are built
Don’t begin the dance
before the band starts to play
Remember the Titanic
when you dream of cruises
Could you please finish the ark
before you pray for rain?
Clothes frozen on a winter line
should be pressed before wearing
Never stand alone
unless you expect a blue moon
Geeks are never lonely
unless boredom is a symptom
Disregarded treasures
become another man’s junk
