THIS AND THAT

All my happys’ are sporadic episodes, of bittersweet   

delirium. As my independence is co-dependent on the fragile dark side of my emotions.

_______________________________________________________________

A man pulled a rabbit from his hat.

The audience rose extending him a standing ovation.

As the applause abated, arrested by a solitary slow hand clap,

a lone voice from the back of the room said,

now entertain us with some real magic”.

This just goes II show, that pleasing some is an art that is yet II  be perfected. While pleasing everyone is a futile labour

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man unable II get his point of view across and expressing his displeasure with the state of affairs, was cautiously removed from the room.

Before long he was permitted II return, and finding a vacant chair he sheepishly sat down.

Consequently, he rose from his seat and addressed the room in way of an apology and said, 

“I’m not II  humble II eat this pie, besides, I like pie, even the variety from the sky no less.”                                                                                   And the satisfied and dissatisfied were well-fed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can conclusions be drawn on supposes?

they are always willing II  smell the roses,

as assumptions find no comfort

where sleeping dogs rest
