George Held -------- Adages to live by

Geo’s New Adages (monostichs)

Impute unto others what you deny in yourself.


A pinch of strychnine saves clothesline.


An addled mind is the devil’s play station.

No good weed goes unpuffed.

An ounce of projection is worth a pound of endure.

Lenny Bruce wise and Ezra Pound foolish
