All That I Know

Of Beauty, All I know is that it varies proportionally to the label on your jeans. Of Physics, All I know is I get up in the morning and fall down at night. Of History, All I know is what I can't see anymore is past, and what I'm afraid to see is future. Of Music, All I know is one man's Bach is another man's Zeppelin. Of Stability, All I know is that it's unstable. Of Humor, All I know is that it makes us realize what idiots we really are. Of Economy, All I know is that it's like a lobotomy. Of Adolescence, All I know is that it caused my parents to lose all of their brains. Of Maturity, All I know is that somehow my parents found them again, probably under the loveseat or something. Of Cars, All I know is that my stereo works. Of Marriage, All I know is that it's something my friends do occasionally. Of Divorce, All I know is that I could lose more than everything. (1986)

Thx A-L...Oh, plenty has changed, except for car knowledge (that's what I pay mechanics for).
