Anything Can Happen (Haiku)

Like other pursuits
Life is a game of inches
Defined by close calls

Grandpa's Advice (Haiku)

Mind your P's and Q's

Advice from long long ago

Noticed when not done.

Too bad there are more
Of the next generation
Than those who're mindful

Note: This is advice from long ago.  Regardless of the Wikipedia remarks, I think it could just as easily come from Pleases (P's) and Thank yous (Q's); at least that is the interpretation used for this little Haiku.  The inspiration for it comes from people (notably grandchildren)  to whom gifts are given without even a thank you.

The Sands Of Time (Haiku)

Obliterated
Foot prints in the sands of time
By the ebb and flow

Villains (Haiku)

Greedy marketers
With their quest to get it all
Killed many of us

Pall Mall got Andy
Lucky Strike got Uncle Jim
Camels got Johnny

They almost got me
Cigarettes, pipes and cigars
Almost but not quite

Try it you'll like it
Doctors and stars condoned it
It will help not hurt

Looking back on it
It was wrong and they knew it
But did it they did

Now flavored vapors
The new harbinger of death
Same song differ'nt words
