by Kate Decker

Here are three of a bunch of rhymes from a not yet published book Rhyme or Reason:

With winner and loser

But life is like dinner:
It isn’t a case

– Kate Delano-Condax (Decker)

 

One principle to live by
Until the day you die:
Never price your principles,
Or somebody might buy.
– Kate Delano-Condax (Decker)
