Leaping purposes many things
But the proverb sweetly sings
“Look before you leap”–
In to mind confusions so creep.
We may have endless wants
But to scholar and saints
“First deserve then desire”–
Makes society pretender and liar.
We mean charity for other
But we ought to remember
“Charity begins at home”–
So sweet is home with or without dome.
We lose patience to our miseries
But heartless the proverb is
“Every dog has his day”–
So suffer today for tomorrow’s gay.
We prefer to give something to nothing
But how we ignore the warning,
“Give him an inch and he will take an ell”–
Makes selfishness logically good and well.
Thus a lunatic may break proverbs
Throws a critical meaning to us,
But the proverb you may recall
“As goat eats all so mad talks all”.
