Page # 2002: Funny But Faux Quotes From Goethe

________________________________________________________________________________________________

YOUTH is the silky apple butter

on the good brown bread of possibility.

MUSIC is the frozen tapioca

in the ice chest of History.

ACTORS are the Scotch weevils

in the salt pork of honest effort.

ART is the four-percent interest

on the municipal bond of life.

CRITICS are the cracked mirror

in the grand ballroom

of the creative spirit.

She Has Briefly Returned From The Witness Protection Program

The Institute of Inane Research
determined that Silhouette Sally
was very happy to be relocated
to an estate formerly owned
by Frank Sinatra

Temporarily released from the
Federal Witness Protection Program,
Un-silhouetted, she is seen here
perched upon Mt. Modem
at her former home
in Long Beach.

Staring out the window,
Silhouette Sally is thinking
with disdain about the image 
on the television screen.

Three broads and a blueprint:

What will they think of next?

And what the hell is that white line  
doing across the bottom of the screen?

When do I go back to Palm Springs?

The 86th Bullet: Another Comment About Freedom Of Speech

About That Picture With The Duck

________________________________________________________________________________________________

In the middle
of this image,
there is a duck
who appears to be alone in the
Belmont Pool 

Upon closer
inspection,
that is not 
true

The black dot
below the first
two red banners
of the bunting
is none other
than me

It required
repeated 
viewing
of this image
to make that 
determination.

Repeated
viewing
of a much older photograph of a swimmer
yielded the same result

That is,
I looked at
a 1958 snapshot
of my sister
—post-swim—
half a gazillion times
before realizing
I was in the picture

Moments ago, I underlined 
the black blur in the water.

It was Linda's little brother
in an inner tube.

 
________________________________________________________________________________________________
CONCLUSION:
The next time I see a duck 
either in the Belmont pool
or flying above it, I will say
Hello, Linda

The joy of doing so is that
Mr. CarPeo can harbor thoughts 
of "another woman" without
Mrs. CarPeo getting jealous.

That explains why Mrs. C 
is the smarter half
of our family.

Me Too Multitudes ... Available on YouTube ... For Guess Who

________________________________________________________________________________________________

AT THE
ME TOO 
BALL

Irony received
an invitation
to
a fund-raising Ball.

Vanity was her escort.

Irony wore

a Gucci gown
and

high heel sneakers
to 

The Me Too Ball
at the Memorial Hall,

With men and women

of note,
in glitter and glam,
plus media
to gather quote

From crumbs
of conversation
or spoken from
the podium.

Vanity sat to the
right of irony.

Ego sat to her left.

She could not tell
them apart.

Laughter sat
across from

Irony.

(The Me Too Ball
coincided with Hollywood's
Me Too Rally.)

Secrecy  and Humility

were conspicuously
absent from the Ball

Where
Ten thousand  people
sang

in perfect harmony:

I gotta be Me
I gotta be Me
No other person
can I be.

Ten thousand

voices all echoing
–verbatim and robotic–

All repeating
the plea
to be different.

Irony in

her high heel sneakers
danced with

Laughter in

his most

voluminous
voice.

They were thrown

out of the hall,

Exiled from the Ball
 but

Vanity and ego

crawled
under the table.

Ego was lassoed

into submission,

unlike

Vanity,

who wore

too many

disguises.

Otherwise

 a splendid time

was had by all

at the

Me Too
 Ball

(Or so they thought)
.

A Guardian Angel Talks To GOD ... October 24, 2017

________________________________________________________________________________________________


 
"Oh Great Master,
  the Americans call it 
  the Fall Classic.
  It is the culmination of..."

"Guardy, don't take me for a fool:
  I know what the World Series is.

"But with Trump, Putin and all 
  the other Princes of Darkness,
  I've had hardly anytime for baseball. 
  Tell me please, who's playing this year?"

"Dodgers and Astros.
 The first game is today."

"From Los Angeles and Houston, correct?

"Yes, Boss. Only one of them
  will get the crown.
  Which should it be?"
  
"I have one last question
  before I answer your question."

"And that question is..."

"Didn't I curse those two cities
  with Harvies?"

"Yes, Boss.
  You gave Houston a hurricane
   named Harvey and Los Angeles
 (via Hollywood) got a weinstein
   named Harvey."

"This is a no-brainer.
  I've got to yang the bigger yin:
  The Astros win the World Series
  in seven games!"

"You got it, Boss."

Congratulations to the Houston Astros
