More shorties for you to think about...

Shorts...(not those kind Kostro)

More shorties for you to think about…


 


Middleman eliminated…


 


How does one eliminate a middleman?


Car dealers say they do so or can,


Do they chop him up with a great big fan?


Or do they send him back to where he began…?


 


Don’t leap before you look…


 


Who would, especially into a shallow brook?


Unless you have no scruples being that of a crook,


The last time I did leap, the whole world shook,


Landed on my posterior, having now two matching nooks…


 


Tales are never told by dead men…


 


Well, duhhhhhhhhhhhhh!


If tales were wisely told,


The dead man in question,


Would sculpt a tale,


That would have a moral to behold…


 


Luck comes to the beginners…


 


Must be why I do poem so well,


Been told as a poet I do excel,


Never thought did I, I could my poetry spell,


Damn if I know where thoughts like these do come from,


In my brain they just do sort of jell…

Deep philosophical stuff and way too early for my old grey cells to wrap around them. Have to check it out later. Good.

And now we know that you are also, not only a poet, but wise philosopher as well. You really are jelling, Ed! I love these! Leah
