Proverbs


‘Make hay while the sun shines’
Beware, if it shines too brightly,
Your hay may get scorched
And leave you in the lurch!
      ‘Every cloud has a silver lining’
      because the sun, behind it is shining
      But when the whole sky is cloudy
      Search yourself for the silver lining!
‘A rolling stone gathers no moss’
but it does find greener pastures
it’s not soiled by the dirt of sloth
nor daunted by impending doom!
      Thus though we may take a page
      Out of our proverb books;
      We’ll have the last word
      When it comes to plain brass-tacks!
