buy a donkey

Buy a Donkey  The Sunday papers had nothing to tell  except for the usual trivia  and endless wars somewhere on the planet As I get older and older, nothing much  is of importance, novels are good only  for taking our mind off the ennui  I used to write poetry and hoped to publish until I realized it was of no  importance for anyone or me Very few things in our lives are important  it does not stop wars; we are as stupid as before the wheel. Yesterday, I visited a donkey ranch and thought these animals are important when fleeing from tribal wars  We spend a set number of years here much of it  on bagatelles like work and  pay negotiations and pension reforms  When of years are over, nothing changes except who got what of our lot, what  I can do for the future is to buy  a donkey
