I believe in unseen forces
And that by concentrating with
The focus of a hundred spoon benders
I can make a squirrel
Deal Blackjack.
The Buddha said,
“Do not beg for tomorrow’s lunch today.
And, invest in hand sanitizer.
You’ll thank me later.”
Yet, Siddhartha Gautama,
Not realizing he and the Buddha
Were the same person,
Declined to bring a “plus one”
To the wedding
Of George Eliot to Mary Ann Evans.
When Odysseus
Sent Circe $25 on Cash App,
She thanked him by changing his crew
Into a six-pack
Of argyle socks.
True, Ezekiel did not write
His own book but sold the movies rights
After Nebuchadnezzar sent him
to Babylon next day air.
Even though Raphael didn’t finish
The Transfiguration,
He managed to obtain
A bone spur exemption.
Yes, my anxiety consumes me
But I feel serenity
Knowing it passed on the breadsticks.
This is the age of gratitude!
And Jamaica’s government
Is a democratic constitutional monarchy!!
