Three epigrams:


1.

There’s nothing wrong with piety
If it reduces your anxiety.


2.

It’s a good thing mysoginists
Have relatively few progenists.

3.

Son of a Mason,
Child of De Molay,
I've always been a dour Scot,
And intend to stay that way.

   Jim

I can see nothing wrong with these three.  The first two were witty and not to abstract.  Call me dense, but the third one got me...otherwise, it was gravy.

That last one took a lot of research and I'm still not sure I totally got it. Barbeqcue sauce instead of gravy?

Hi Illusion and Jennifer"  The third little ditty has to do with Scottish Rites Masons.  If you didn't grow up with it, you are both right, it's obscure.  Promise to leave it out of any anthology!

Best, Jim
