Hahaha, John, absolutely. It's really a very good one line poem. They are not easy to write,at all, and still making sense and a statement that will linger. It's a great entry and I wish you the best of luck. Ulla:)))

This makes sense to me. And I love your word play. Your line uses humor to make a very serious point. We need to stop using our energies up with trivial matters. And, we need to stop rationalizing crazy notions so that they make sense to us.
Well said. Good luck in the contest.

This is sometimes true and sometimes untrue. Sometimes confusion is the thing that matters and you need to get your head clear to deal with the full problem.
Good luck in the contest
Keep writing and stay healthy

'One-Liner', is short, succinct and delightfully descriptive. Woven through each short line are the golden threads of truth. It was a pleasure to both read and review this talented poet's work. Good luck in the contest. Please let me know how you get on?

You have said a lot in just one line. If something doesn't make sense then what does it matter.....you have said a mouthful. This is a great contest entry, best of luck. :)

LOL This contest entry is filled with old fashioned common sense, which is hard to find now-a-days. It reminds me of some of Yogi Berra's sayings. I enjoyed reading and good luck.

Hi Cogitator,

Well, this makes perfect sense.

"Matters only matter when they make sense."

Science make perfect sense even if we don't understand it ourselves... or it wouldn't "be" in existence. So there's that out of the way. Then matters of the heart or human psyche only matter to us if they have meaning.

So your statement is essentially true!

Great job on this one with an eye catching image to enhance your well thought out words.

Good luck!

Always,
Senyai

A situation under consideration only has significance when it makes sense? I fear I'm stumped.
A great one-liner in the sense that I have spent much time pondering your particular interpretation of the matter :)

    How about "Senses that matter make matter make sense." Thanks for the review...John

You have certainly created a one-liner that is thought-provoking. From different perspectives, not everything will make sense to everyone. So, in the end, if it does not make sense to me - it does not matter. It might make perfect sense to someone else. I'll just make myself a cup of tea and enjoy all that makes sense to me. That does look like a teapot from Alice in Wonderland...lol
