Of whom one must really wonder
When there are too many to ponder
Who's there to be the seconder?

A foghorn by the sound it bleeps
A broom by how well it sweeps
A mattress by how well you sleep

After a breeze comes a palm
After a sin comes a psalm

Proverbs Exposed, Expanded And Expounded (Cont.12th Aug.)

PROVERBS EXPOSED, EXPANDED AND EXPOUNDED
6. A bad penny always turns up
Whether or not you're down or up
Pray then for it to be removed like the cup
You need not use to drink with in a gulp

Since there's no point in beating around the bush
Knowing how difficult it is to get a real push
When peace is what we all need in a rush
8. A chain is no stronger than its weakest link
Whatever its colour from dark red to pink
Better to link up together for strength or we'll sink
Right before our own eyes quicker than a blink
9. A fool and his money are soon parted
Thanks to 'fast' money getting it started
But before too long quickly departed
Leaving behind debts to be mounted
10. A friend in need is a friend indeed

When angry will be there as strong reed
When empty will be there to sow seeds

Its effort could even be dragged to court

PROVERBS EXPOSED, EXPANDED & EXPOUNDED
1. A rolling stone gathers no moss
Never staying long with any boss
Too much restlessness turn and toss
Hope you won't be the victim at a loss
2. Better late than never
Know when to play stupid or clever
Don't rush too much till you get fever
With only way to cool by jumping into river
3. Spare the rod and spoil the child
Lest your treatment is considered too mild
Wrongly encouraging the child to be freely wild
With over protection and real spoiling to gild
4. Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Don't live a sheltered life fully chained
Or as though like an animal maimed
Locking yourself up and being pained
5. Too many cooks spoil the broth
Too many tailors spoil the cloth
Too many cobblers spoil the sole
Too many 'preachers' confuse the soul

Limericks 2 Lick & Get A Kick @ A Tick Without Stick- 090807

TICK OR TRICK FOR A LIMERICK
When you write your 5-line limerick
It's best done with 5 feet just for kick
Lines 1, 2 & 5 will need three strong feet
Lines 3 & 4 can be balanced with just two feet
Try ending your final punchline with catchy trick
ANY REMEDY FOR BALONEY?
How can one try to write a suitable parody
When it's so difficult to find the right melody
To fit into the ever changing, sad, pathetic tragedy
With some many uncouth villians getting ever ready
To pounce on those who won't accept or swallow their baloney
A RUN FOR YOUR PUN
Imagine someone trying hard to write a simple pun
Attempting continuously to strike a stake under the sun
Without resorting to any free handout for even a bun
Denying the courageous young from any creative fun
By threathening them constantly with water gun
NOTHING MUCH TO SHOUT ABOUT
There are so many things to laugh and joke about
Without us having to wear boxing gloves to get a bout
While some clowns have licenses at top of their heads shout
Just when they boastfully and vainly think they have all the clout
At the right time divine forces will come to clean them all out in a rout

Love From Above - Aug. 5th - Day 217

LOVE FROM ABOVE
Play on, with music as the food of love
That will charm all the heavenly doves
Bringing along with them all the angels in droves
Go on feeding love to all those on earth and above

"Quotes, Not Quota, For The World" - 030807

  1. Never say 'die' until you're dead (for by then you don't even need to say it!)
  2. World peace is possible when the world's worst politicians and errant religious leaders are no longer impossible.
  3. Common sense is really not so common after all. Otherwise, there's no need to keep on telling some of the world's (& national) leaders, "Please have some decent common sense!"
  4. Contrary to the popular saying "May the best man win", in a marriage ceremony, the so-called 'bestman' never wins since it's the groom who marries and gets the bride.
  5. When two wrongs do not make one right, even one wrong does not make anything half-right. A wrong is a wrong.
  6. To a true (spiritual &/or intellectual) freedom fighter, deaths come many times before full liberty is ever won.
  7. Fire and water make good servants but bad masters. This principle also applies to any unscrupulous cum greedy politicians and civil servants.
  8. How can we make a positive difference in this world when we tend to remain indifferent and stay diffident in all that we should do but don't or won't do.
  9. While we all can't change the world for the better overnight, the least we can do is to pray for it to be better, if not safer for mankind, every night.
  10. Those who take the drastic path from womb to bomb have chosen the wrong shortcut (or 'shockcut') to the tomb without making maximum use of the humble comb.

Happy 50th Birthday Malaysia! [Special For Fri. 31st Aug. 2007]

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY MALAYSIA!
Through the toils of those in the paddy fields, tin mines and rubber estates
And the political leadership in the Alliance came about the independent state
Where Malays, Chinese, Indians and others are joined in making their stakes
To enjoy the fruits of their labour through the enlarging economic cakes
With durian as the king of their fruits and mangosteen as the queen
This land is well blessed with pastures and forests that are still green
Now there are some serious efforts to keep all the major rivers clean
There is still the vital need to keep in focus Vision 2020 for all to glean
Scattered all over the entire land with mosques, churches and temples
As avenues of choice for each individual worshipper to freely assemble
We all pray for meaningful religious freedom and genuine harmony
Whereby national unity in diversity is more than mere ceremony
While politicians love in parliament to argue, quarrel and debate
The common folks love "Open House" during major festivals to celebrate
There will always be leakages and seepages for those concerned to deliberate
More important will be for full transparency and good governance to accelerate
May all citizens young and old grow in maturity along with the nation
And graduate eventually from restrictive, reluctant type of tolerance
To that of respectful, responsive, sincere mutual acceptance
When all can stand shoulder to shoulder in equal station
Come 31st August 2007, "Happy 50th Birthday!" good old Malaysia
May you continue to be the jewel and worthy model in the whole of Asia!
