I believe that… <br /> <br /> Parents greatly overestimate their importance. <br />Things ripple <br />Lovers lie… (a lot!) <br />When a man philosophizes a lot, he’s covering something up <br />Life has a way of shrinking a man <br />Everyone has regrets <br />Hormones make us all do stupid things <br />If you’ve not screwed up…you haven’t lived <br />We all have scars, torments and ghosts <br />Smiles beget haloes and beget smiles in return <br />Some people smile like a frightened lemur <br />Old men and women bicker… happily (usually) <br />The greatest wealth lives in happy memories <br />Sadness can be freely given…while <br />Happiness must be earned <br />Every person pays for sex in the end <br />One can savor the flavor of being alone <br />The ugliest truth be better than the prettiest of lies <br />Years need be not friend or enemy <br />Not all winds are fresh… <br />Nor all sea breezes briny <br />Some people’s beauty takes one’s breath away… <br />And others are uglier than a monkey’s heinie <br />These are enough for now <br />It’s time to take a nap!<br /><br />David Whalen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/random-opinions-and-ruminations/
