The
most amazing thing
about
female prayer

the resemblance
of
the praying hands
to
a
most private part
of
the female
anatomy

One + Only One Word Describes Yesterday
________________________________________________________________________________________________
That word is
Blah
but
there may be
more than one
a
in the middle
I
mention this
because
I am convinced
it is not
to become a
lifestyle
Yesterday
The slightest effort
to do
ANYTHING
was a struggle
I walked out
my front door
exactly once
—all day—
as opposed to
a minimum
of
ten times
any other day
Blah
happened
simply because
a scheduled
2-mile walk
on
Thursday
was doubled
BUT
the last mile
was a
city bus ride
for free
because
I had no cash
on me
Today is Saturday.
My Starbucks
is inches away
(so are my cigarets)
I've already
Wordled
+
Geniused
on Spelling Bee
+
I am feeling
blog-o-licious

The Winners Of The ... SMARTEST 3-YEAR-OLDS ...
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
The Winners Of
THE SMARTEST 3-YEAR-OLDS
in
Long Beach
were
the twins
Kim + Jim
Kowalski
Their mother
told
her favorite story
about
her new-born
babies
being driven home
from the hospital:
Kim (or Jim)
looked out the window
of the ambulance
and spoke
her/his
first sentence:
Why do so many cars
speed up
to stop at
a Red Light?
Now,
my husband and I
ask both of them
for help
with our
iPhones
We are the life
of the party
in our neighborhood
because
we teach our friends
everything we learned
from
Kim + Jim

Last Sunday's 60 MINUTES Segment Of Miss Piggy
________________________________________________________________________________________________
I will guarantee
the "Miss Piggy" pun
was created by
and
I thank
for bringing it
to my attention:
Years ago,
Peter attended
a
poetry reading
of hers
where the shortened form
of her first name
introduced
the artist
BUT
—under no circumstances—
will he read
her recent
essay collection
which speaks unkindly
of
President Trump

a series of

How The Hell Can Anyone NOT Believe ...
________________________________________________________________________________________________
How the Hell
can anyone
not believe
that this image
proves the
existence of
GOD
However,
the word
"God"
has more synonyms
than anyone
can count
and
if we can't
respect that fact
and the choreography
of each "church"
they represent
then
we might as well
prepare to say
Goodbye
to
Planet Earth

No Puzzle Has More Sex With ... LOGIC
________________________________________________________________________________________________
No
puzzle
has
a
greater intimacy
with numbers
1 thru 9
___
___
___
No
puzzle
has
a
greater touchstone
with the concept of
LOGIC
than
the puzzle
known as
Think of it
as a performance
of the
non-zero
digits
wherein
is broken through
by respecting
the spaces
where numbers
do not go
in order to
grasp the facts about
where numbers
do go
____________________
But
we cannot teach
logic
to students
because
it
would
make them
smarter than
their teachers
AND
That would be
suicide
for
Artificial Intelligence
which must
never, ever
communicate
genuine
intelligence
to anyone
unassociated
with
Big Pharma
or
other
mega-powers
in
USA
❗❗❗
Of course,
that includes
the
"Sudoku"
is an Asian word
translating into
American children
sure can be stupid

Obviously,
these were fantasy loves,

on
my real life
"Love of Family"
was
a 24/7
birthright
until
family love for me
—not undeservedly—
went out the window

in 2026,
my love

an individual woman
still has me

They
get pruned,
ruined,
embellished,

forgotten
