Is it plausible to believe-in
Probability and 'ben trovato'?
I dare say one can assume ...
Ten to one that everything's equal -

Some can in two places be;
And make cheese out of chalk;
Catch a weasel fast asleep;
And gather grapes from thorns.

Certainly, sure fire, it's a cinch,
Rain or shine, sink or swim .....
No buts about it, without doubt,
Sure as fate, some are liars.

So - in a maze all turned around,
Who shall decide when all disagree?
Who will leap into the dark ...
When up a tree or out at sea?

When the certain seems improbable,
Some go blind, take potluck;
Some buy a pig in a poke -
Nil laid down, nought taken up.

Thus, some hit the nail on the head,
Some hit it on the nose ....
Right as rain tell the facts,
The truth, the real McCoy
With phrases coined, said before -
Dictum, adage, proverb, gnome ...
Slogan, motto, moral, maxim ...
Familiar tunes which are old songs.

Errors, faults, untruths, wrongs.
Boners, blunders, slips, faux pas's'.
Lapses gauged without one's host ...
Aimed at a pigeon — wound a crow.
