"Therefore, Simplicius..."

                                 Homeless raccoon- amazon creek

latest homeless joke
what do you give a homeless man
answer
a 10 thousand dollar funeral
pretty funny eh
pretty sick
a fixture in de-troit died
homeless man
no money to dispose of his carcass
legally
he is in the fridge with lots of other
indigent folks
lots of money is donated to bury the guy
if they had donated before he was dead
his life could have been lived out with some
comfort and dignity
but no
i heard a radio report which said more companies
are letting employees off for up to
eight hours a year
with pay
to do volunteer work
lie work in soup kitchens
tears came to my eyes when i heard this
tears of laughter
why don't these folks show up at the state
capital and lobby for a higher minimum wage
hello
hello
is this line dead

i walked over to the local protest square
first i talked to a young guy who said he
was an occupier
he spoke of the chinese takeover
and of the helpful anarchist
he was kind of pre-occupied if you ask me
then i walked across the street to the
asleep at the wheel movement
lots of sub-standard tents in the square
lame lame lame
seems they need a place to camp
they need better camping gear first
i have a good book on tents of the world
many cultures live in tents all the time
good tents warm tents felt tents
anyhow i suggested a bus ride of less than
two bucks to the national forest where the
nurtureing wood gods would help to soothe
their worried minds
it worked for me
i did mention that they would need
an ax a shovel and three gallons of water
so as to not burn the forest down
anyhow that was my suggestion
i feel bad about the poor raccoons who have
been dispalced by inconsiderate people
elbowing them out of they homes
the racoons dont have bus fare you see

"Therefore, Simplicius, come either
with arguments and demonstrations, and
bring us no more Texts and authorities,
for our disputes are about the Sensible
World, and not one of Paper."

world systems"
