Brief History of Life: "Laugh, cry, laugh ?" Peace! Pea [aka Flapshoe Clown]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

           La Vie Longue nos Différences
                            { sauf l'un }

Some say po-tay-toe;  some say po-tah-toe.
Some’re  huffer-puffers;   me, I like to breathe.
Some dig reality;  resta us godda tail Soprano.
Got your Einsteins, got your “Wha--?”s  {Capice?}

Thank [insert deity of choice] we ain’ all in one box.
What a drag that would be.   Imagine a world
where nobody kavetches over bagels and lox.
All love labs and hate cats?   Hurrrrrrl~!!

Some wig and hot-curl; others go for bald.
Some hold out for roses; me, I like dandy-lines.
Some dash mall to mall;  moi-types hit Stall.
Brewski and Cuppa-Tay Luv meet Sssiiiiiiip d’Wine.

Give me the great outdoors!  Give me Doritos and a sofa!
Put me on a jet!  Han’ me the remote an’ gedoudda here.
Bubble bath to the chin!  Arctic shower,  sand with loofa!
Peace and quiet, puh-leez.   Louder,  Louder!!   Hear--?

Clones, we will never, ever be.
This is the way it is meant to be.
Let’s agree to disagree like we did before.
Except for the part about making war.
