Gail, that is a beautiful poem. Perhaps it is too good.But give Lucy the chance to be discriminating.

Gail,

This reminds me of Thoreau's observation that finding a trout in the milk is a example of when circumstantial evidence can be trusted.

The fish that needs a bicycle is sought by all men.

To err is human, to moo is bovine.

It is better to burn a bridge than to swallow a lawnmower.

If you want to make God laugh, make a farting sound with your armpit.

Never trust a man who wears cufflinks with short sleeves.

Keep your friends close, but your wallet closer.

Brain surgery isn't rocket science.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is the designated driver.

In the land of the blind, light bulbs are a hard sell.

God alone grieves for the eaten pork pie.

Multiplication tables are occasional, algebraic hat-stands eternal.

It’s never Ash Wednesday for pancakes.

It’s a rare Dalek shops for shoes.

Only Swindon is exactly what it looks like.

Life is wanting a shovel and getting a bishopric.

Only the spoon tastes the stir it brings to the teacup.

Three Wednesday’s and you’ve forgotten what happened three Wednesday’s ago.

Pity the man who is only and entirely a cardiologist.

I truly love the pork pie. If Lucy doesn't pick it I'll eat my... pork pie.

Beware of vestal virgins who sometime vend their virtue,
Since satiated urgin’s have tendencies to hurt you.

Put not your thrust in princes; my son, don’t stem the rose;
Don’t wet your wick with rinses whose scents offend the nose.

The lusty farmer’s daughter can give you dread disease;
A virus that can slaughter, or paralyze your knees.

Avoid the comely hooker on the seamy side of town;
While she may be a looker, you’ll end up six feet down.
