эпиграмма

Придумалась эпиграмма по-английски. Посвящается не скажу кому.

Before you trust this man, remember this:
Although he aims to please, he'll always miss.

Happy lover kisses miss
Unhappy lover misses kiss

- maybe you've seen the similar line in this proverb?

Well, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen it anywhere before ;) but yeah, the punchline is probably too obvious not to have been used before, in one variation or another.
