Wisdoms

(verse 4)

1. “You ever noticed how inhibitions, when one downs a
   a couple’a cold ones, are blown in the wind like star-
   dust sparklings? They sparkle like hot stars in a cerulean
   night then disappear like the cold ones.”
   - Quote from an intellectual alcoholic -
    
2. Love: A Spring day with a light southerly breeze
   and sun-made ice tea, staring at the baby-
   blue of Heaven -- minus the cumulous clouds.
    
3. Jazz is like love, and both are like a fine wine: open for
   interpretation by its connoisseur; and when the cork’s
   finally popped and the selection made -- what a splendid
   treat.
    
4. Rape: A power hungry laborer washing the windows
   of someone else’s Cadillac-car, proclaiming the
   need to get “paid” - SCANDAL and treachery -
   unbeknownst to the previously pristine glass.
    
5. Knowledge is King
   Wisdom is Queen
   and the Prince is learning
   to use both, principally
   in charity.
    
6. Why play Poker with a cheat, unless you want to join them
   in cheating? -- as to be mutually mad at each other… I’d
   rather play Solitaire.
    
7. “Excess in a passion is not self-defeating nor self-indulgence,
   but rather,
   self-sacrifice.”
   So sayeth the generous alcoholic.
