“My Country Tis Of Thee” <br />Has stood the test of history <br />But it’s meaning verbally <br />For me is still a mystery <br /> <br />“Damn The Torpedoes, Full Steam Ahead” <br />A show of great bravado <br />The command was followed with foreboding dread <br />Would they live to see tomorrow? <br /> <br />“To Be Or Not To Be, That Is The Question” <br />Finding the proper answer isn’t hard <br />Just ask one in the wordy profession <br />The one who asked it, our articulate Bard <br /> <br />“Anger Opens The Mouth And Shuts The Mind” <br />A one-liner worthy of thought <br />A concept lost on most of mankind <br />It’s a lesson not easily taught <br /> <br />“A Closed Mind Is A Good Thing To Lose” <br />Then hope you never find-it <br />A mind that’s closed is like a noose <br />Around the brain and blinds-it<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-look-at-a-few-one-liners/
