Go Figure

 


I know the signature of John Hancock


when I see it. I am tuned to detect the


sound of a Back fugue when I hear it.



I can pick out you face marching by


in a parade. I have learned that tigers


will bite and claw when cornered and



kittens purr naturally. I know clouds


form before the storm. Shoes will


remain securely in place on the feet



when properly laced. Nitrogen casts


a blue hue in Earth’s atmosphere. I


know what I know and know what



it takes to stay alive. Compasses will


always point to True North. Four of a


kind will beat a Full House every time.



There are rules, my friend, which will


always need to be applied. Mistakes


and excuses will be made. Not every



thing which is lost can always be re-


gained. Peter Piper picked a peck of


pickled peppers. Mary, Mary quite con-



trary, how does your garden grow?


A goddamned green thumb, or so


I’ve been told.
