One learns little more about a man from the feats of his literary memory than from the feats of his alimentary canal.

Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.

At last, in a world torn by the hatred and wars of men, appears a woman to whom the problems and feats of men are mere child's play. A woman whose identity is known to none, but whose sensational feats are outstanding in a fast-moving world. With a hundred times the agility and strength of our best male athletes and strongest wrestlers, she appears as though from nowhere to avenge an injustice or right a wrong! As lovely as Aphrodite — as wise as Athena — with the speed of Mercury and the strength of Hercules — She is known only as Wonder Woman, but who she is, or whence she came from, nobody knows!

Sonnet: Some Keys to Success
Mere labor can’t give success in our life;
Our perseverance is more important;
Some luck and pluck may work out amidst strife;
God gives us wisdom when prayers we chant.
Man’s struggle is futile without God’s part;
Impeccable schedules and plans don’t work;
Man’s nurtured talents may further his art;
God’s blessings serve as final finish stroke!
Man by himself cannot do many things;
Great feats are done with God as Friend and Guide;
Money and power fail even for kings;
Our common-sense helps us life’s waves to ride!
Our earthly feats must help fellow creatures;
Mundane pastures evoke divine raptures!

Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.

Sally the Acrobat
Sally was an acrobat from London
One day, her shoelaces came undone
Her feats were commendable
She was extremely bendable
She became a pretzel when she tried to run

Always A Shadow
always a shadow am i
to you
always the second fiddle
am i to your feats
someday
when my sun is at its
height when my light shines
through
the valleys of my heart
i shall then be free
from the obstructions of
your fame.

Are they known for their feats?
When old songs of my teen age era played
My nostalgia brought me the taste.
Who wrote, who tuned and who sang, I don’t know.
They might think that they would live by their feats.

Freedom?
Was there a state of grace known as freedom?
Was it earned by great feats, fortune or fame?
Were we set apart by donning racial condoms?
Is this mislaid gift something we can reclaim?

Man wants woman
Women are not as desperate
For men as men are for women.
If you fail to love your woman
There are men to do your feats.

The three hardest tasks in the world are neither physical feats nor intellectual achievements, but moral acts to return love for hate, to include the excluded, and to say, I was wrong.

John Keats
Who killed John Keats?
'I,' says the Quarterly,
So savage and Tartarly;
''Twas one of my feats.'
Who shot the arrow?
'The poet-priest Milman
(So ready to kill man),
Or Southey or Barrow.
Eating coals of fire has always been one of the sensational feats of the Fire Kings, as it is quite generally known that charcoal burns with an extremely intense heat.

To Rosa ----: Acrostic
I took a Rosebud from a certain bower,
And by its side placed an Orange flower,
Then with the Speedwell, blended the perfume
And the sweet beauty of an Apple-bloom,
And thus, 't is one of the loveliest feats,
Is spelled a gentle lady's name in sweets.
