The following are proverbs well known in the UK, except that each word has been replaced by one that rhymes. As an example "Any strands take light jerk" would give "Many hands make light work". Now try these.

-1.Crook seashore too deep. 4 words

-2.Many lies sound ghoulish. 4

-3.Head when swell so fails. 5

-4.Repair leaks tearing rifts. 4

-5.Walls fell at friends' yell. 5

-6.Wet seeping logs dry. 4

-7.Funny walks. 2

-8.Chased what hunt got. 4

9.Who has to could see fun die. 7

-10....and finally the title of this quiz:
Rhyme wise. 2

wink

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

9. Do as you would be done by. smile

This wording of the Golden Rule was new to me. I see from an internet search to confirm my guess that it's common but I just don't remember coming across it before. I always had it as, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
