Aphorism # 4


Even by its own standards
humanity is strange;
having standards being
one of the things that
makes it so.

Early Closing


The staff would like to know
if the store will be closing early
as they want to take part
in the rioting and looting.

Miss Shufflebottom could do
with a flat screen TV, Mr. Smyth
requires an upgraded i pad,
young Rodgers craves an xbox.

The shelf stackers need to lay in
some household goods and tinned food,
the makeup girls are all eyes lined up
on a floaty little thing in monsoon.

It’s widely rumored that the Police
are understaffed and demoralized,
the prime meddler goes sockless in Tuscany,
the mayor is making merry with the media

and they felt that a rare opportunity,
to take advantage of the system
that usually takes advantage of them,
was presenting it self.

Aphorism # 2

It ain’t rocket science,
in fact, these days,
rocket science ain’t
     rocket science.

Aphorism # 1

Wisdom is innocence
arrived at through
     experience.
