Wise man who cannot
outwit the witless becomes
witless and unwise
Beauty found in eye
of beholder, yes, but note:
eye must be open
To find who you are
consult your heart, soul and mind
don’t forget to tweet.
Tree falls in forest
with no one around to hear
Does flattened loon count?
Give a man a fish
he chokes, and while in E.R.
meets clever lawyer
Dog baying at moon
seeks answer to old riddle
Where did I hide bone?
The dude abides, he
sips White Russians while his rug
cries out for shampoo
Money is the root
of all evil, but what else
pays for root canal?
Birdsong gladdens hearts,
fosters love in everyone
except tone deaf fox

For years I told jokes on street corners for tips, dreaming of one day owning a granite counter top. No luck, so I entered a monastery. I now do stand-up at daily prayer services. The monks' vow of silence means they can't laugh. I can't even laugh, although sometimes I sob quietly in the can. This blog is a cry for help. Send money or granite. I accept Pay Pal.
