New Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions

Q: What do you do, what do you do?

Me: Um...research. Super specialisation.

Q:  Really!!?? In what? 

Me: Vanaprasthisation. It's a study of volitional and selective withdrawal from society as one of the privileges accorded to those who embrace their own notions of age-appropriate behaviour. The study places these individuals in a utopian setting where no one is pressured into affirming that age is a number. They engage in frequent sessions of S.L.U.M.B.E.R. - supine languor: ultimate metabolism boosting energy recharge.

 

Indolence is Bliss

Out to Lunch
Not the best of days, a too watery sun and more winds than I'd care for, but better than indoors, definitely.


Worm's Eye

Idler's Reverie

I wish we only spoke in verse:
If prose was not allowed in speech,
And minds rephrased each thought before
It fitted into patterned lines,
Think how much less of hurtful noise
Or harmful rage would be expressed?

There'd be a world of silences,
And we would all then thinkers be,
And only that which qualified
As poetry would pass our lips.
