There was an old lady named Drake
|
|||
|
Who wanted to transport a cake
|
|||
|
Across a lagoon
|
|||
|
Upon a pontoon;
|
|||
|
But Drake dropped her cake in the lake!
|

|
|
|||
|
There was a young man from New Delhi
|
|||
|
Who had a great passion for jelly;
|
|||
|
For breakfast and lunch
|
|||
|
A full jar he would munch,
|
|||
|
Till his body was nothing but belly!

I hear the anguish
|

|
I feel the warmth of my own
|
|||
|
What is going on?
|
|||
|
|

|
I exit the balloon

air rushes, voices abound
|

Years go by, I DIE!

I work the magic
|
|||
|
I weave the strands into gold
|
|||
|
It often unravels
|
|||
|
I see the many changes
|
|||
|
It throws me its knuckleball....
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I am swirling about
|
|||
|
caught in some infernal hell
|
|||
|
wind rushes, brains scramble
|
|||
|
houses fly above my head, crash along;
|
|||
|
caught in this huge spinning hell....

=> An air traffic controller who worked the night shift was
|
|||
|
constantly pestered by a wiseguy pilot who landed at his field regularly.
|
|||
|
Everytime the pilot came in for a landing at night, he contacted the tower
|
|||
|
for permission to land and said, "Air traffic controller, guess who wants
|
|||
|
to land."
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Finally, one night the controller had his fill of the pilot's
|
|||
|
nonsense. When the approaching pilot said to him, "Air traffic controller,
|
|||
|
guess who wants to land," the controller shut off all the runway lights and
|
|||
|
replied, "This is air traffic controller to guess who wants to land. NOW
|
|||
|
GUESS WHERE TO LAND!"
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
=> "Does your car knock?"
|
|||
|
"No, it just scratches at the door when it wants to come
|
|||
|
in."

it's windy. When it gets wet, it's raining.

THE REALITY

do you

sleep with

|
a micro
|

phone in

your face
|

|
to record all
|

|
of the ideas
|

|
in a dream (
|

|
that may be
|
|||
|
lost)
|
|||
|
of the greatest
|

|
thing- I saw
|
|||
|
through the
|
|||
|
skin and flesh
|
|||
|
and the falsehoods
|
|||
|
of self-esteem
|

and I saw -
|

|
me. Just me.

=> The telephone on the editor's desk rang insistently.
|

|
When he answered, a voice said, "You're all wet about the
|
|||
|
high cost of living. My wife and I live sumptuously, eating
|
|||
|
everything we like, on less than a dollar a week."
|
|||
|
"A DOLLAR A WEEK!" cried the editor. "I can't believe it!
|
|||
|
Won't you tell me how you do it, and to make sure I get the story
|
|||
|
straight, please speak louder."
|
|||
|
"I can't speak louder," came the answer. "I'm a
|
|||
|
goldfish."
