The Eternal Twins
Taking fun
as simply fun
and earnestness
in earnest
shows how thoroughly
thou none
of the two
discernest.
Circumscripture
As Pastor X steps out of bed
he slips a neat disguise on:
that halo round his priestly head
is really his horizon.
An Ethical Grook
I see
and I hear
and I speak no evil;
I carry
no malice
within my breast;
yet quite without
wishing
a man to the Devil
one may be
permitted
to hope for the best.
Ars Brevis
There is
one art,
no more,
no less:
to do
all things
with art-
lessness.
Problems
Problems worthy
of attack
prove their worth
by hitting back.
Consolation Grook
Losing one glove
is certainly painful,
but nothing
compared to the pain,
of losing one,
throwing away the other,
and finding
the first one again.
