Thanks for the fun quotations. The first one reminds me of a quote from Mark Twain but the college reference isn't in his quote. And these days, they tell us "boomers" to get implants but if they get boomer bridges, I guess those teeth will sleep elsewhere.

I like it that the errors expected from humanity can never be matched by anything that existed before or after. Bad advice, oh yes, it will come at you often.

I love the plastic surgery and sushi line. Yeah, it is sad when you can wave at your teeth by the bed. What a wonderfully written poem. Best of luck with your writing!

Have a great day, and God bless.

Love the spin you put in these, Karen...

I've seen versions of some of them before, but with your touch I can't help but laugh out loud!

"when it comes to sushi or plastic surgery never go for the bargain."

Now there's sage advice!

LOL...

I come up with my own, change up old favorites, and twist others to get a giggle. I will keep writing until I am either bored, or people quit reading.:-)

Sounds like a plan!

Your image is comical; and the poem is full of quotes that you evidently have heard, written, or remembered/some of these remarks stay with the person for many years. Especially if you're a writer.

I really enjoyed these gems for seniors. I especially liked the advice, "Don't let yesterday take up too much of today." It's best to live in the moment. I once heard that older people think about what used to be in the past. Younger people think about what they hope will be in the future.

I think I'm old enough to appreciate every one of these gems.

Ahh, you have captured some very valid points here that everyone should take note of. Ageing brings us closer to the truth - in the end. A mixture of good advice and humour to cushion the blow of the inevitable and the stupidity of man. Thank you for sharing this enlightening read.

Very funny post. I had never heard the optimist and pessimist one. And it's very true that once advice us offered, there is absolutely no way of escaping it. Another great one. Gretchen

Comment from Sanku

I liked the statement that with money one can get the key to happiness made! For the last line I think you must add 'human' before stupidity!!!
I liked the one about the teeth too!
