Change is Not what it promises to be.

 

Looking up from his “looking-down,” a kid asked his ole man, “Why do symphonies
have several movements? Why do plays have separate acts? And why do books have
different chapters. If a composer, or an author, or anyone has something specific to say,
why not just out-with-it in a complete, un-segmented form?”
And the elder smiled, and with a friendly head shake replied,
“Next thing you KNOW you'll be asking why do words them SELVES have a beginning and an end."
And he was still smiling and shaking his head when the kid asked,
“Why do words themselves have a beginning and end?"

Wherever the clown goes the circus follows.
(Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot -

The old fax machine presents us with this message from a fan:
“After reading the Daily News for some time now, and carefully weighing your
many parables regarding, 'Kings, monarchs, and neural tyrants,' I have decided
that my own MIND is like unto a 'kingdom'"
Only thing is, he adds,
“I seem to experience a coup every ten or fifteen minutes...”

A certain city dweller assures us of his position thusly, (assures he),
“Change is NOT what it promises to be...and that's why I gave it up.”

Seeing his little creatures apparently without direction, or purpose
This one god said to them, “Hey, here’s what you could do - try and 'do better'".
And they all got real excited, and said, “How?”
And the Big Guy said, “Ah, jeeze! FORGET IT!”
