Men
Some worry about going bald,
others go bald from worrying.

The word "if" is a seesaw waiting for you to approach it
(for Marty Grothe)
If pigs could fly
there’d be
less bacon.
If you were a bully at school,
don’t be one now.
If you keep having flings,
one day you’ll be flung.
If you’re digging your own grave,
consider what you’re using
as the shovel.
If God exists
we must appal him sometimes.
If time is money
some of us
will end up short-changed.
If you think you know everything,
try writing poems.
