    Old Sayings!

     Nothing like a good old saying to put you back in your place.
    They can bring you back to reality like a slap in the face.

    "A fool and his money are soon parted"
    I dont want  to think of all I've blown, let's not get started.

    "Can't change a sows ear into a silk purse."
    I've tried so many times, it's my personal curse

    "The grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence."
    But if stayed on my side things woulda made a lot more sense

    So when things get tough and I leel like I'm straying.
    I'll pray real hard to think of a good old saying.

    I can relate. My exfather in law was a roofer and he was tough as hell on those guys. I'm from Philly where every mother's son has some done roofing in his day. Tough work. Those guys can be on the roof ar 6am, drunk by 9.30, and have the job done at 1.30 and in the bar by 2pm. They make pirates look like sissies.

    "If you play with fire, you're gonna get burned", comes to my mind. No telling how many times I heard those words growing up. Great Poem. What you said is truth. Many an old saying has been used to try to slap me back to reality... some worked, some didn't. Thanks for sharing.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
