so they say (if i may)…

 

“yay! hooray! hey!”

“listen-up, jay…”  

 

“on scorpionic day… avoid the fray… don’t stay…

it’s not okay (nay!) to be left on the cay...

at-bay with a gay (but grumpy) ray… 

don’t play or pay… 

just run the other way.”

* apologies. i was trying to rhyme something with the idea that, “when you meet a scorpio, run the other way.”
 
** different-but-eerily-similar (i believe) to the phrase “when you see the mushroom-cloud, run toward it.”
