Tom's Head Scatchers
there are mysteries abundant
in our universe...
but some,
at least to me,
defy any rationale...
why do people feel
compelled
to have cell phones
surgically attached
to their ears...
and be oblivious
of who they are
with or their
surroundings...
regardless of
how awe-inspiring
nature has
strained to tempt them?
I have seen , in Manhattan,
not too long ago,
a sight that would
have called for
"the men in the
white coats"
more than one couple
walking the streets
together
one in a business suit
one in a smart work dress
BOTH talking on seperate cell
phones!
Both complimenting their
wardrobe with
ratty sneakers!!!
how'd I get on this planet?
did I miss something?
a decade or two?
why do we walk
around with
advertisement
T-shirts?
not like we're
getting paid for it...
or Fedex- apparently
Fed's ex has won
a big settlement-
she owns trucks
all over the place...
would would
possibly watch
imfomercials?
not even in the
hightest level
psych wards
so why spend
millions to
produce and
air them?
go on a vacation!
please feel free to jump in
and add your thoughts
on human oddities
as you see them...
later......tom
