Avoiding the Inevitable

 

Fly with a sting in the tail

There is no grace in growing old.
The only dodge to avoid 
the inevitability of aging,
is to die,
young.

Bloodlust




Success buys forbearance, but
forbearance craves blood!

Place head here


Beware the salesperson who describes
the hangman's noose as offering
"great after sales support".

Chill and Shrill


If you venture out 
in a suit cut only
from bells and whistles
you will be both 
cold and conspicuous.

Stop Hitting Yourself


Unreasonable behaviour 
is by definition 
immune to reason.

(Appeals to logic and a search for explanation
simply founder in the mire of deep emotion, or 
stubbornness, rewarded by resentment and 
concealing a self-defeating fear of loss.)

Taking offence


You will never lack 
for opportunity 
to take offence, 
if you are so inclined.
