Auntie Joyce’s Astro-Aphorisms #2

© 2010 by Joyce Mason

Dear Radical Readers,

I wrote the first astro-aphorisms under the hair dryer at the beauty salon. I wasn’t sure I had another round in me. To find out, I replicated the conditions of the original experiment—opened up a few bottles of nail polish and hair color to scent the air with chemical thought provokers. Back home, it was hard to type with a hand-held dryer in one hand (it almost melted my earrings), but here are the results. I hope at least one of these gets a giggle out of you. It’ll be a home run if you laugh your aphorism off!


Your own Missed Manners,
Auntie Joyce

~~~

Aries: Easier done than said.

Taurus: Here today, here tomorrow.

Gemini: East is East, and West is West, and never the twin shall meet.

Cancer: Always cut the cords.

Leo: There’s nothing but you under the Sun.

Virgo: Words worth a thousand pictures …
