A pair of scissors

can do some wonderful things.

A punch in the nose

is something that hurts a lot.

And your blood will flow.

It can be embarrassing

unless you reciprocate.

Ever been lonely?

Then you know it’s not much fun.

But consider this.

If 1’s the loneliest number.

then how sad must 0 feel?

4. Vacuum

A vacuum’s no fun.

It will pull you into it.

’Cause it really sucks.

What do you believe?

“I believe the world is flat.”

So, you’re a moron?

You should not worry

about things that are not worth

worrying about.

7. Dark Matter

The cosmos contains

matter so dark that you can’t

see whether it’s real.

Our lives are full of

markers with directions for

us to do something.

Whether we heed them or not,

paints the portrait of our lives.

you’d better freeze or you risk

extermination.

A ring is just a

circle unless it’s placed on

the finger of the

person you hold most dearly,

and want as your life partner.

12. Colors

The world is full of

beautiful colors if we’d

only stop and look.

If centipedes wore

pants, they would need lots of pairs.

Anger is tricky

to contain and can quickly

blow up in your face.

Kids can be so cute

and adorable until

they’re little monsters.

16. Blow

These days if you blow

your nose in public you could

start a COVID panic.

17. Suitcase

If your life were a

suitcase, what would be inside?

Things of great value

or a lot of useless junk?

Be sure to fill it with care.

Do you settle for

less than you deserve in life?

Don’t ever settle.

as still as possible but

your nose will still itch.
