Seeing Double
"Look twice before you leap, son,"
My mother oft told me.
Each time I take a second look,
A second girl I see.
The only thing that's better—
You'll think me quite a dunce—
Would be to have diplopia,
Then I'd see two at once.
Wisdom
Napoleon was a wise old guy;
A saying of his ran
Like this: "To all who would be safe,
Don't write, just send a man!"
