Title: *Proverbial Factors* - Set 1

A bad excuse, is better than none
A mother’s work, is never done

A bad penny, always turns up
Dancing like a spinning top.

A hard road, sometimes to travel.
A bad tree, does not yield, good apple.

In the presence of fools
A bad workman, blames his tools.

Fighting the good fights
A barking dog, seldom bites

Remember while stroking your tush
A bird in hand, is worth two in a bush.

A book holds, a house of gold
A genuine story, that needs to be told.

And now, for a million points of light
A black plum, is as sweet, as a white.
