I've written my first German song... that uses only one sentence
(Ich habe mein erstes deutsches Lied geschrieben, das nur einen Satz benutzt):
Wenn das Leben dir Zitronen gibt, Kopf hoch!
(Hopefully) roughly translated as 'when life gives you lemons, chin up!' and to the tune of "she'll be coming round the mountain when she comes", in which it fits perfectly.
For me that's a catchy little reminder of some grammar and a pick-me-up in one, in today's lemon-filled world.

When life gives you anagrams, make melonade.

It's difficult for me to say "I love you", but with him it was easy.

The English longbow was the medieval equivalent of the neutron bomb - it killed people but did minimal damage to buildings.

Someone at work mentioned the lyrics to a song. I said it seemed familiar. Turns out, upon a Google search, I don't know the song since I never really listened to the artist. The song is "Cry Me A River".

Why is the retirement community minimum age 55 when the federal retirement age is a good ten years higher?

Baby Yoda was better before it changed its name to Grogu. "Grogu" is the sound one makes after vomiting.

I'm not feeling my age so much every day as I am every moment.
