Two jokes and some poems

“How Soon is Now?” by The Smiths. Answer: about a nanosecond.

“Sorry, I am afraid we have to fire you. We shall use kerosene or gasoline and then a match, and it may hurt.”

“Still” by yours truly

Still Sunday, day of rest
At the behest of…
But it can cause unrest
When you think of the week,
What is left.
Don’t be weak or meek.

“Meditate” by yours truly

The lamps in my study are blown out now.
And the batteries in my flashlight
Have gone dead.
These days they only want to sell ones too small.
But the darkness helps you meditate.
Don’t obliterate, just concentrate.
.
And there is some electric light outside the study door.
Use the dark to meditate.

“Like” by yours truly

“The trauma is
I thought people liked me,
And they did not.”
“No, the tragedy is
You did not like yourself.”
