Verse

Some poetry deserves no comment because it would waste time you could spend doing other things. Other poetry deserves no comment because it would waste time you could spend reading
the poem.

I saw a fridge magnet the other day that said 'life is what happens to you why you are busy making plans'
That poem has a way of saying everything and nothing all at the same time, sort of in a chaotic zen sence which reminds me of this!

A monk was being chased by a fierce lion when he slipped over the edge of a cliff

Holding onto a vine he looked down into the ravine below, only to notice a lioness waiting to devour him

At that moment two mice came along and began nibbling through the vine that held him

It was then he saw a grape also clinging to a vine, he reached out plucked it and placed it into his mouth

The taste was sweet
