Rhyme Time

WISDOMBeauty is in the eye of the beholderWe all grace as we grow older,Absence makes the heart grow fonderSmile, smile and you’ll live longer, Money can’t buy happinessMore isn’t more, it’s less.Life is for the livingIt’s better to be giving, Keep your chin up highYou’ll feel better if you cry,Love is grand and love is gayEvery dog will have his day,And I was born just yesterday!-Barb Best The master of light verse, Ogden Nash.

The Fly

The Lord in His wisdom made the fly,And then forgot to tell us why. - Ogden NashJudith Viorst is quite funny!http://www.simonandschuster.com/multimedia?video=626073741001

Dorothy Parker of course.AFTERNOONWhen I am old, and comforted,And done with this desire,With Memory to share my bedAnd Peace to share my fire,I’ll comb my hair in scalloped bandsBeneath my laundered cap,And watch my cool and fragile handsLie light upon my lap.And I will have a sprigged gownWith lace to kiss my throat;I’ll draw my curtain to the town,And hum a purring note.And I’ll forget the way of tears,And rock, and stir my tea.But oh, I wish those blessed yearsWere further than they be!- Dorothy ParkerCheck out The Dorothy Parker Society for everything Dorothy Parker.
