Irritating Pigs


Casting pearls before swine
just irritates the pigs.

What use is wisdom
to an empty pork's belly?

Pine grows well in the cold. Its needles are so sharp that they'll slice through a tongue if you suckle on any. Its cones are armor-plated armadillos. tasting of bark. Dry pine becomes a fire hazard. It never burns slowly; instead it engulfs everything in one sudden whoosh. While its fresh leaves limn the surface of air with mint, its fumes never do.

Dr. M: The last line is perfect: "While its fresh leaves limn the surface of air with mint, its fumes never do."

RT: Nothing but the best for MY readers.
