A fly is floating in your tea.
Don't fish it out or sink it.
Debrett's advises courtesy.
Smile graciously and drink it.
Progress
"Nasty, brutish and short" was how
Tom Hobbes described life's song.
But much has changed since his day. Now
It's nasty, brutish and long.

Further Commentary on the Relative Merits of Tragedy and Comedy
The frivolous
Are light as whimsy.
But heaviness
Is far more flimsy.

Resignation
I live on an island that lies off the coast
Of the tiniest continent, hardly the toast
Of an undersized planet that orbits a star
That's a speck in a galaxy well below par
In a universe probably merely a speck
Amongst infinite cosmoses... So what the heck.

Never Satisfied
In a ménage à trois it's true
There's jealousy galore.
Each person thinks the other two
Adore each other more.
And if a fourth joins in the spree
It's even more bourgeois.
Each now suspects the other three
Have a ménage à trois.

Deuteronomy 14:21
"Don't boil a kid in mother's milk."
The Bible says it's sin.
My conscience is as pure as silk.
I'm vegetarian.
But you, my friends, who aren't inclined
To be as strict as me,
I know what's going through your mind.
"Must try that recipe."
