PHILOSOPHY, THOUGHTS AND OBSERVATIONS


from the ABC set PHILOSOPHICALLY INCLINED TALES

PLAYING WITH WORDS

This thought occurred to me
Just the other day
Why do people play at a recital?
Yet recite at a play

WINDING

Why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts to run
But whenever I wind up a conversation
Its over and done

DON’T WORRY

Don’t waste your time worrying
Anxiously distressed or fretting
What other people think of you
There are far better things to do
For they are too busy worrying
What it is that you are thinking

A TROUBLE SHARED

Don’t tell people when things are bad
Because half of them would not be sad
And the other half are just plain glad

NEAT FIT

Some days thing fit neatly
And every thing dove tails
On others they seem to hang
Together with rusty nails

WHY AM I HERE?

If it's true as the Church tells us so
That we are here to help others galore
Then perhaps the Church could tell me
What exactly the others are here for?

SIMPLY PHILOSOPHICAL # 2

A very simple rule
I was always taught
Love your neighbor
But don't get caught

SMILE ON

The man who can smile
When things go badly wrong
Has thought of some sad sucker
That he can blame it on

RELAX

If we have nothing to lose by change just relax
If we have everything to gain by change just relax
If it doesn't matter it doesn’t matter so just relax

IF IT’S WORTH DOING

Anything worth doing
They say
Is worth doing well
Anything worth doing
I’d say is worth
Doing for money as well
