Poem of the Day – February 25

Can you yodel?

Can you swim?

Can you play air guitar?

Can you speak French?

Can you do sudoku?

Can you make money?

Can you accept the fact that life consists of an infinite series of mishaps?

 

Do you save money?

Do you trust yourself?

Do you use profanity?

Do you wonder?

Do you know?

Do you have anything to say that hasn’t been said by somebody at some point in time, including yourself?

 

How are you fixed for canned tomatoes?

How many peas are in the average pod?

Will your car break down tomorrow?

Will anyone care if you don’t show up?

Did you tell your wife you love her?

Did you brush your teeth before you went to the bank?

Where is your mettle?

Where is your hair?

When will you stop smoking, or if you’ve already stopped, when will you stop drinking, or if you’ve already stopped, when you will stop wishing that the person next door who plays music too loud will have an accident and be seriously injured although not die.

 

What is art?

What is life?

 

Do you care?
