Baa, baa, black sheep

"It is more better to give than to receive.'"

—Acts 20:35 (KJV, before the improvers got to it)

The brain runs dry at close of day.

I find I’ve little left to say.

Scanning the quicksands of celebrity

And flocks of garbage, you can see

What’s to hope for, and beware.

(Perhaps some ginormous solar flare

Will flush the Internet down the drain,

Wiping the whiteboard clean again?)

Best for a man is not to be born,

Sophocles' chorus says.

And here's a suggestion for our Pres:

Best f r a sherp I s not to be s h rn.

Persuasion replaced by conviction,

Truth’s become the current fiction:

Good's not more better now than bad;

Lunch’s not just given—it’s grabbed!
