Moderation is the inseparable companion of wisdom, but with it genius has not even a nodding acquaintance.

Inseparable
Written by chuck jackson and marvin yancy
Inseparable, thats how well always be, inseparable, just you and me
Its so wonderful to know youll always be around me
Incredible, what you are to me, incredible, you bring out the woman in me
With your style of love, inseparable, yes, we are
Were like a flower to tree, like words to a melody of love
Theres no way we can break up, no words that can make us blow our thing
Were just inseparable, thats how it is, inseparable for the rest of our years
Its so wonderful to know youll always be around

The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive.

A little more moderation would be good. Of course, my life hasn't exactly been one of moderation.

My Friend Is Gone
Delivered by two mothers
Ordained to be siaseme twins
Co-joined perchance at nymphs
Cleaving together like the unbroken cords
We climbed moutains together
Taking giant steps to greatness.
We paddled the same canoe
Through the murky waters.
Our dreams were the same,
Our aspirations were inseparable.
Consistently we washed each others back.
What a great companion.
Why do you suddenly eclipsed?
Why embarking on a journey of no return?
Why translating into the celestial
When there are more to be done here?
Why did you depart unannounced?
In order to dine with with the cherubims?
Why not wishing me bye?
You were my great companion
A worthy friend indeed.
Adieu, my worthy friend.

The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.
Experience - the wisdom that enables us to recognise in an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.

A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue, but moderation in principle is always a vice.

Woman is not gregarious.
There was a couple, who lived for many years,
Inseparable and indispensable.
No sooner was she dead than he married another.
Inseparable and indispensable, he found her.
A widow can be alone.
A widower feels lonely.

True Blue Poetry
poetry may not
be a popular art
but a true yardstick
of the wisdom of words
you are either frown upon
on the first few lines
or cherished as friends
at your very first
the way a new acquaintance
is judged from the very first impression

Brilliant Genius, April Fool So Tedious
April Fool So Tedious……,
Brilliant Genius, Brilliant Genius …..,
Through an elite prism he sees us……,
Brilliant Genius, Brilliant Genius …..,
One step short of Jesus…….,
No doubt he doesn’t need us……,
And would never heed us……,
But wants to clothe and feed us……,
Poor bare lawn, he’d even seed us…….,
Just like a lonely, forlorn Venus……,
April Fool So Tedious……,
Brilliant Genius, Brilliant Genius…..! ! !
