Because it is Poetry Month...

and because I'm actually getting some writing done this morning, here is one of my favorite poems to keep you amused until I can write a real post.
O Karma, Dharma, pudding and pie,
gimme a break before I die:
grant me wisdom, will, & wit,
purity, probity, pluck, & grit.
Trustworthy, loyal, helpful, kind,
gimme great abs & a steel-trap mind,
and forgive, Ye Gods, some humble advice —
these little blessings would suffice
to beget an earthly paradise:
make the bad people good —
and the good people nice;
and before our world goes over the brink
teach the believers how to think.
— Philip Appleman
