Lopsided
she lays there with never a care
Bought
it at Walmart just on a dare
Cheaper
than borscht though and as cunningly red
Now
careful my dearies don't trip as you tread
Today
we no longer have any pity for the concept of "free will":
we know only too well what it really is - the foulest of all
theologians' artifices, aimed at making mankind "responsible"
in their sense, that is, "dependent upon them."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
The
associate was right, that box was a fright
It
balanced all nicely till the innards took flight
That
poor lovely old lady with the smile so keen
Swore
curses from Hades when the box hit her spleen
“Most
men will not swim before they are able to.” Is that not witty?
Naturally, they won't swim! They are born for the solid earth, not
for the water. And naturally they won't think. They are made for
life, not for thought. Yes, and he who thinks, what’s more, he who
makes thought his business, he may go far in it, but he has bartered
the solid earth for the water all the same, and one day he will
drown.” -Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf
Out
through the doors, alarms ringing with gusto
The
manager came laughing said “That box is a must go”
So
we hooked it on the bicycle with our huge logging chain
And
dragged it home sluing like a derailing freight train
“What
one does is what counts. Not what one had the intention of doing.”
-Pablo Picasso
Now
curiosity begets knowledge, which may bring reflection
That
box was cut open with no introspection
Out
rolled a carpet which snippily unrolled
To
recoil from the other end the cat to enfold
“The
worst part of success is trying to find someone who is happy for
you.” -Bette Midler
Nailed
her down good, smoothed out half the bulges
It
ain't quite that square really and the thickness divulges
Puzzling
flaws in it's making, no wonder they boxed it
Cheaper
than borscht though, we finally outfoxed it
