...questioning humor...

Does not a person have to have “it”, before losing “it”, By the by, what pray tell or William Tell for that matter, is “it”, Is “it” something that can be bought, Or is “it” something that can be handed down, Or is “it” again something that is inherited, I know that since I have not “it”, I have “it” sought, Though now that I sought “it”, I am all the more interested in knowing, What this famous or mayhaps infamous thing they call “it” is, Is “it” something I can feel, or something I can see, Does “it” have anything to do with mom Natures sea, Or can “it” be displayed, spoken too, or taken out, Can I name “it” beyond the name already given, Maybe I will name “it” after the famous actor Niven… For “it” I am at a loss, Will I have to, to find “it” floss, Does “it” shine and like a car have gloss, If I actually do lose “it”, and you find “it”, Can it be returned and not so much cost, Maybe I should stop right here, The “it” so far has of my hand created a cramp, Did you know “it” costs 39 cents to mail a letter with a stamp, Now I am just rambling, my mind has totally lost “it”, Now to start all over again, what the hell exactly is an “it”… © ed ~ J 2/5/07

It is anything but man. There are some men/women who could easily be classified as It. Then there's "Cousin It".
It's It.

Take it from me... wait a minutes, and let me start over.
If you have 'it' - there's nothing for you to worry about.
and, when you lose 'it' - worrying is the last thing to help.

It has been demonstrated, that those who pursue it, also then often become obsessed with what, why, who, where, when, and how as well. And then, it often drives them mad. It is obvious to me, Brother, that it is about time you quit pursuing it, or it might become an addiction. It is time to chill; think about it - no, don't think about it - just chill.

If you don't have "it" how can you know it;-) "It" is a good poem at any rate, entertaining philosophizing;-)...et

heh. ed. now you know what "it" is. "it" is whatever you seek and secure and can flaunt about saying you got "it." and, "it" is never the same thing on any given day-making "it" so important.

this is a fun comical rant.

thanks,
