Poem Artwork

Lying on the crumbled floor,

A broom said to a figurine

Of the sitting buddha who
 
Found room for himself
 
Right on the upper shelf:

"Darkness is falling, sir,

We, saints, should sleep."

The sitting buddha replied
 
From the top of bookstand:

"The moon is rising, my friend;

We, poor folks, must sweep."

One can always expect he unexpected from the Buddha, that's why he's the Buddha. We need to learn from this lesson. John
