Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 20, 2020

This from none other than the Wise Fish on the Wall.

Our illusions form our lives, and it’s too bad.

Good is evil. Truth is lies. Right is wrong. Doublespeak, 2020.

Is that that Kilgore Trout dude?

“As you think it is ….” Hey,

that’s exactly what I was thinking. (don’t you love rounds …?)

I know if I’d been wiser this would never have occurred

but I wallowed in my blindness so it’s plain that I deserve

for the sin of self-indulgence when the truth was writ quite clear

I must spend my life amongst the dead who spend their lives in fear

of a death that they’re not sure of, of a life they can’t control

It’s all so simple really if you just look to your soul

Some say that I’m a wise man, some think that I’m a fool

It doesn’t matter either way: I’ll be a wise man’s tool

For the lesson lies in learning and by teaching I’ll be taught

for there’s nothing hidden anywhere, it’s all there to be sought

.

Procal Harum

not

Jigsaw me this, O wise fish! As I think it is, it is! The Power of Mind is mine; I think I am omnipotent!

And who are you to nay-say me?

Joy to all the fishes in the deep fryer..
