Aphorisms

[Senna Jawa]

-

In poetry, the achievement of passing information is as easy as passing gas
(and equally attractive).​

Aphorisms come to me naturally. Each time each of them feels like it's impossible to forget it. Then... it's gone. Forever. Thus I ended up with only a handful of them. Even those which I did record found a way to get lost anyway. There are so many ways. I hope that this thread will catch some of those small creatures at least for a while. Go ahead and save here--in this thread--yours too.

Blood's thicker than water but it ain't glue. This is mine from a while back.

the son always rises, eventually, and then wants breakfast

This is cool and has stayed with me since I first read it acouple of day ago.

I am starting to see this kind of stalking of the fridge by my son. He's twelve and his brother as a teen had an EPIC appetite. Not looking forward to the food bills.

When I give food to the poor, I am a saint; when I ask why the poor have no food, I am a communist.

You have it wrong:

Conservatives give the poor their own money.

Communists (so-called liberals) give the poor the money grabbed from others (but first pocketing 95% of this money for their cause and for their beloved bureaucracy first).​

Actually, the so called liberals push more and more people into poverty in order to justify the existence of the liberals.

In order to have someone to look down on.

[Senna Jawa]

I'm trying to be funny

Try harder

life is like a snowman. but the snow always reverts back to its natural state, is re-absorbed - not lost, continues on.

We and snowmen are opposites! Thus let me transform your aphorism:

The eternal reincarnation:

... snowman man snowman man sno...​

Hey!

Being right is not always good enough.


A second one, not perhaps an aphorism but the comment of an elderly Yorkshireman about the local MP (member of Parliament) after the latters speech at a town hall meeting

"Thee be like a cock in't barnyard, all squawk n' shite"
