Cautionary Couplets

CAUTIONARY COUPLETS

I hazard it has many times been said
That we have never lived if we’ve not bled

If you attest a life of no regret
I’ll wager you have never placed a bet

If in your time you never crash and burn
You miss an opportunity to learn

If you forever seek to others blame
Well they may seek to ever wipe your name

If you choose peace at all cost you may see
A subjugated life of tyranny

If love is all, in truth I promise that
With careful seasoning I’ll eat my hat

If you aver you never told a lie
I’ll guarantee the moon’s a pizza pie

If you contend you never commit sin
Then join this club of one, they’ll let you in
