Our entire Ideal is evidently to question
Why we never solve the solution

The answer to the question is "why".

Interesting.

Rotf @ SEA

I think the whole point is that these poems are meant to sound erudite but are actually complete nonsense!?

Little traps for literary pomposity maybe.

Yes I like that idea.

I think these little poems (?) would make great bumperstickers to alleviate road rage.  We would be too busy contemplating the solutions that have not solved anything to be angry.

Question: Why is Ideal capitalized? Is it the name of someone? Does it refer to God?

You encourage constructive critiques so I know you are willing to discuss the construction of the poem. So I wondered...

Thanks in advance!

ALISON!!

Gawd, with these as bumper stickers you'd have London in maniacal uproar during the Monday morning rush hour.

If you capitalize a word, Sharon, it makes it More Important!   (or a typo - heh)
