Folk wisdom 🌹

Folk wisdom 🌹

ā€˜A fool says what he knows and a wise man knows exactly what he says’
Wow isn’t this such a true proverb
In the most unambiguous of ways ?

I simply adore these ancient sayings
They decipher right from wrong
Put thing’s into prospective
A correct folk wisdom for life long

Such witticism and wisecracks
An intelligent way of plain-talk truth
Created in bygone days
By an inventive ā€˜Wordsmith’ slueth

ā€˜Absence makes the heart grow fonder’
Yes we can all relate to this
It’s when one is so far away
The heart pines into an abyss

I could reel out a multitude of ethigrams
All of which are precisely true
But I will not bore one with repetitions
Only one finale famous quote for you

ā€˜All good things must come to an end’
How many times has one relayed that ?
I know I’ve worn it ā€˜around the bend’
Just like a well ā€˜Scalded cat’
