They say pride goeth before a fall;
But age makes pride a clown.
Content to wait, to goeth late,
Til AFTER I fall down!

Pride and age are clowns in the same circus.
From time to time each makes the other to play the
part of the fool. When the time comes that pride
causes age to knock me down I hope I have enough
sense to stay down (lol)

You have yet to produce a piece that does not impress

So true. If I fall I don/'/t look around to see if I was seen. It/'/s a fall and I own it- no biggie...…..

Yes most often pride is a clown, oh how profound...…..
