Prune Proverbs

*
Plum wine’s gain is a prune’s loss.

Black plums at night, a gourmand’s delight.

When the prune’s away the raisins play.

It takes a village for raisin a prune.

A prune a day keeps gut aches at bay.

A plumb saved is gut-pruning lost.

A plumb and its smoothness are soon parted.

A prune resists retention.

A puckered prune's your tummy’s boon.

Pruned pounds are soon rebounds.

**
You can prune my mouth but not my mind.

Pruning is fine tuning.

Prune modifiers and nouns will take care of themselves.

A pruning is excessive vetting.

Pruning ourselves is ruining ourselves.

Pruning ourselves is finding ourselves.

Pruning ourselves makes us stronger.

Pruning ourselves . . . .


Caveat: For every proverb there’s an opposite and equally inane proverb.
