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.

Прочёл "aims to peace". Подумал про Буша. Заметил очитку. Расстроился (не думал, что у меня в голове угнездился такой мусор).

Да, странная очитка, действительно.

Very cute (although i can't shake the feeling I've seen the last line (or the variation on it) somewhere -- but, perhaps, all great things are obvious in retrospect :) )

the last line spotted

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.

Ah, what a lovely thing. Utterly lovely.
