The demon on my shoulder said it best,--
“The grass is greener when the grass is smoked,
It doesn’t matter on which path you walked,
Both roads will lead to Rome, both east and west...

Remember that three lefts will make a right!
That curiosity gave cats a life worth living
Don’t read the books, their context is deceiving,
Judge by the cover and you’ll be alright!

Remember, -- no one ever wins in peace!
Engage in fights as often as you wish!
Remember, worms will catch the early fish
And that second mouse gets the cheese.

For every penny saved a second’s lost...
If time is money, then why settle for so cheap?
Don’t sell your soul for pennies,-- go to sleep!--
The Devil buys it at a higher cost.”

Very clever indeed!!  By the way... "Remember that three lefts will make a right!"  I had to work that out in my head... *S*
