Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Do the Unconventional

Trapped behind a desk, first at school, then at work
    Why on earth are folks such awful jerks
  If we didn't like school, why continue to suffer
    Just because some boss made a great offer?  

  Rebel! Break out! Do the unconventional!
    Find a pursuit that's completely unmentionable
  Spend a year searching for the 'missing link'
    Move to the equator, build an ice-skating rink

  Heed my advice, friend, and you'll never be sorry
    Ta-ta and good luck! ~ Time for my noonday safari

Ann Peck February 18, 2023 at 3:26 PM Good advice! Let's all go to the south pole and see what's under the ice! Bring some glasses and a warm hat! No, your safari sounds better--I don't like cold :) Gershon Wolf April 17, 2023 at 7:21 PM I was thinking perhaps of looking for my barber's pole. ~ Harry Pate

Jeff Kyser February 17, 2023 at 12:59 PM In many ways, COVID set me free. They sent everyone home, and I discovered I could work from there very efficiently, and then I discovered I could live very efficiently without working :-) Gershon Wolf February 17, 2023 at 1:06 PM I myself tried living without breathing. Didn't work out too well. ~ DOA
