dreams of flight abound
execution follows plan
soaring to the ground

I have two...but they're not as good...

===================================

there's a lesson here
sometimes when you don't succeed
might not be your thing

===================================

before you begin
some grandiose endeavor
think about the end

Hey Terwiliger

Nice. I thought the "unsafe substance" was hilarious.

HEY JOHN

Thanks...BUT...it's somebody else's joke.

It's from a political cartoon about Bob Dole. Remember the 1996 campaign when he leaned on a flimsy railing as he left a platform--the railing gave way--& he fell through it?

I don't remember who the cartoonist was, but he did a piece titled something like "If that had been Bill Clinton who fell"--& he went on to illustrate 5 or 6 goofball Left-wing kneejerk overreactions. (I know...repetitively redundant.) (:

That one in particular stuck in my mind (he used the word "hazardous" instead of "unsafe", but that didn't fit the haiku), & I still chuckle at it from time to time (another one was, of course, an obligatory blaming of "The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy").

I have a memory like a steel trap. A rusty old steel trap that's been hanging on an abandoned cabin wall for ages, but a steel trap nonetheless.
