Four Women With Something To Say About DIVORCE

________________________________________________________________________________________________

***

There is so little difference between husbands,

you night as well keep the first

***

ADELE ROGERS ST. JOHNS

I never believed in divorce

until after I got married

***

DIANE FORD

The wages of sin is alimony

***

CAROLYN WELLS

When I'm dating 

I look at a guy

and wonder

Is this the man I want my children

 to spend their weekends with?

As Of 7/6/71 ... Gabriel No Longer Blows His Horn

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

The Institute of Inane Research

has determined that

—due to  gilded sexual ambiguity— 

Gabriel no longer blows his horn

on Judgement Day

or

any other day

 !!!

 

He also suffered from fatigue

and a rainbow of

retirement income

BUT

—upon retiring his horn—

Gabriel's last public words

were

"I've been Satchmo'ed"

 !!!

 __________

 __________

 

 

Transcending from his

earthly existence

on July 6, 1971,

LOUIS ARMSTRONG

appeared at the Afterlife Arena

to the greatest of fanfare

!!!

 

Mr. Armstrong 

blew his trumpet

and sang

What A Wonderful World

This Could Be

 

Then he did some scat singing

with a Jubilee chorus

of two gazillion spirits

scatting along

BUT

ultimately

a translation to English

was provided: 

 

Now that I am to

Heaven sent

There will be

no more Judgement

 

No more slaughter 

or hatred on earth

 +

No more tyrannical 

razzmatazz

+

We will

give them nothing but

pure Jazz

Her only weakness was  a lack

of that natural cunning

that does so much more

virtue

Calendar Relations ... Today Is The Cousin Of

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Today is April 24, 2024

Let us drop the year

and repeat the above:

Today is April 24

BUT

we are prone to state

month and day

numerically

as a fraction:

 

Today  is 4/24

AND

(4/24) = (1/6) = (2/12) = (3/18) = (5/30)

NOW 

—reverting to month and day—

(April 24) is the "cousin" of (January 6)

+ (February 12) + (March 18)

+ (May 30)

***

You may justifiably believe

I am playing a stupid 

trivial number game

BUT 

there is more than

meets the eye

BECAUSE

 

I am having fun

with fractions

and their equivalence

WHILE

virtually nothing 

in this world

causes more Math Anxiety

than fractions

AND

 

Any statement

that the United States

is truly trying

to improve Math Skills

is a steaming pile

of fecal matter

 BECAUSE

 

Superior Math Skills

means

Superior Thinking Skills

[or Independent Thinking Skills]

and would create a generation

of people who would not 

feel it necessary to buy

the products they see

advertised everywhere

OR

believe the mealy-mouth fabrications

of every politician

 

What A Wonderful World

This Could Be

Young People Say The Darnedest Things

________________________________________________________________________________________________

This is JFK?

I didn't know a President 

 was named after an airport

 _______________________________________________________________________________________________

I Had A Dream Last Night ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________

I dreamt about

waking up in this field

where I saw everything

in five colors

 

 

Just like the colors

in the Olympic Flag

 

I awoke just in time

to go back to

dreamland

 

But I was shaken

from that second slumber

by Olympic officials

who said

 

"Mr. Oliverio,

you will be 

in the next heat

of this event"

 

What event

could that possibly be?

They want me?

I am someone

with the athletic abilities

of a caterpillar  

But I dozed again

and dreamt again:

 

I am on the victory stand

winning a Silver Medal

because my body

has done

post-graduate work

in Sleep Segmentation

and NAPPING

had become an

Olympic Event

 

 

Did the crowd cheer for me?

Maybe .... Maybe not

 

Maybe I heard them

maybe I didn't

because

a victory stand is

as good as any

other place

for a 60-second

doze

because I can sleep

while standing

with or without

my eyes closed
