Random 4 Liners 5.0
(i) Pain
Pain is the great human leveler
Whether physical or mental
Rich man poor man beggar man, thief
We all at times require pain relief
(ii) Frailty
Consider the frailty of others
Before kicking the shit out of them
Deliberate attacking a frail person
Makes you and evil coward
(iii) Use By Date
Shelf life is a consideration
When choosing a wife
she should be fit for life
with no signs of stagnation
(iv) Bravery
Keyboard warriors abound
Brave in the face of distance
But in real life in close proximity
They smile weakly, afraid then to talk smack
(v) Rememberence
The die is cast, the gel has set
The paint's not dry its always wet
And alas we never learn to regret
Lost heroes of war we cant forget

I and IV my favourites.
The safety of Social Media has inspired a neo-barbarian meanness.

I and II are my faves, though I like them all...
great truth oft comes in tiny packages...
these are like Dim Sum, those little Chinese dumplings-full-o'-goodies
If'n you don't mind, though... in #II. L4... it's *AN*evil coward (rather than 'and')...
and in #V, L2...not dry *IT'S* always wet (need the apostrophe ' to indicate contraction of it is) (ITS is a possessive)
Thanks for the good read, David... much appreciated. Ely

I love your witty anecdotes, I thought of one the other day,
' I was listless at the grocery store, it blew away in the wind '
(True story),
The shelf life is a great one of advice, if people followed it it would bring down grocery prices and divorce rates ! It would solve everything, your words are wise..
