Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Does Life Have Some Meaning

He asked the janitor if his life had some meaning
    The small man replied, "Oh, yes, when I'm cleaning"
 
  He wondered where the bodybuilder found his meaning
    'Muscles' smiled and said, "Only when I'm preening"

  Next he tapped a psychiatrist for something redeeming
    Shushing him, Doc whispered, "Wait for my client to stop dreaming"

  When he interrupted a movie director midst of a screening
    He almost landed a part with lots of horrified screaming... 
 
   His search for meaning for the moment completed
     The cobbler hoped his shoe-pile was no longer depleted
