The Fun/Funk Ratio ... And Another Quote From Scott Fitzgerald

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Catechism ... Cataclysm

The catechism of pleasure
The cataclysm of despair

Strange bedfellows
Or
Natural dance partners


There is no hangover
Without
Over-indulgence

The high price of fun
Is surcharged
With the property tax
Of funk

When the fun/funk ratio 
Approaches zero
All you can do
Is
Quote Scott


If the catechism read: 

Have fun 
But never
Without moderation 

Then caution would not be
Blown to the wind

And the cataclysm
Would be de-clawed
***
***
