A False Truism Poem by Chuck Audette

A False Truism

Rating: 5.0


They say:
'you snooze, you lose'
and it's said like a truth I should keep
but the uncouth answer I choose
Is at least you don't lose sleep!

Great stuff. I'm a wake up to this sort of thing although tired of some of those contradictory disposable platitudes. Well done.
