'Tis the Season to be - Jolly!

That’s Life!

© - Tom Hyland - 3-12-10


In Nine more years, it will be exactly -
Two Centuries since John Keats wrote his 1819
Famous Classic - “Ode on a Grecian Urn”


“Beauty is truth, truth beauty” - that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.”


Those two last lines are still debated by Scholars to this day!
Would that We, as poets, should ever garner such fame!


~~~~~~~~~~~~


“That’s Life!” - a Sinatra song title and Lyrics.
“Beauty is only Skin Deep!” - Is that the Truth?
Is Your Truth the same Identical Thing as my Truth?
Is Justice only for the Just?
Or does it include the Unjust?


Her Outward Beauty doesn’t do her Inner Soul Justice!
His Inner Truth conceals his Ultimate Beauty.
“Life is like a Box of Chocolates ...”
You never know which one is which - Unless -
The Lid contains a Graphic Table of Contents!



“Once - I thought I made a Mistake - But - I was Wrong!”
“You made Two Mistakes -
You Thought - and - you Thought Wrong!”
“Life is a Bowl of Cherries”
After the Pulp is Eaten - only the Pits Remain!
“The Pit And The Pendulum” - A Poem by Edgar Allen Poe.



Compare and Contrast those two Pits -
How do they resemble - Arm Pits?
Without Deodorant - they All Stink!


Hey - But - “That’s Life!”

Very clever Tom. Truth; a strange yet lofty goal it is to attempt to discover it. To my way of thinking truth is like deep waters. You can see the surface and you can know it is deep but how deep? One can only discover this by jumping in and exploring its depths. I love the way your mind works Tom.

If "...life is a Bowl of Cherries..." you are standing by shower time on a coeds dormitory! (LOL)
