Limericks inspired by the proverb "Give a dog a bad name and hang him."


 PROVERB'S COMMON MEANING

The proverb means that if a person's reputation is tarnished he or she will suffer hardship and difficulty by making it nearly impossible to overcome the negative perception about person, informs the net.

LIMERICKS

A tyrant, quite fearsome and grand,
Called any dissent "rabid" and banned.
"A mad dog!" was the yell,
Consigning to hell,
With an iron-fisted, swift hand.

A poor dog was branded "mad fright,"
Accused of a wrong in the night.
To crush every plea,
And silence the free,
They snuffed out its innocent light.

A pup with a sniff and a whine,
Was blamed for a sickness divine.
A shot was the cure,
To quell the impure,
And silence dissent down the line

  Nanak Naam Jahaz...Gurbani Shabad: Lyrics and Inspired Decastich SHABAD Nanak naam jahaz hai, charhe so utre paar Jo sharda kar sevde, gur paar utaran haar INSPIRED DECASTICH The world's a sea, waves of strife bite, A stormy place, no calm in sight. But God's name is a sturdy ship, A promise held upon your lip. Remember Him with every breath, Think of His love, escape from death. Meditate upon His grace, Find peace in this uncertain space. That ship will sail, beyond the pain, To liberation's sunny plain.
