Sartre, Kafka, and Cammu say it's all true
the humpback whales can get swine flu.
That butterflies into angels turned
This is what existentialists have learned
All that exists is a matter of choice
To their dusty brains we add voice
The task of knowing right we are re leaved
Right and wrong are arbitrarily conceived
Morality is just opinion, you see.
Believe what-ever, your cup of tea.
Go ahead run with the crowd
Shout their opinions right out loud.
There are no beliefs that are absolute.
I'm laughing to hard says the silly old coot.

Yo GBride,

That should be too, with two "o"s.

As another old coot, I've learned not to laugh at anyones ideas.

Hey Bobby I like your tales of Bones.
Of course, I laugh when I want to.

Thanks GBride,

For your kind words on "Bones".

I'm with you. I laugh when I want to too, and I would never choose to laugh at you.

Bobby

This makes me smile - and I love to laugh too. Thanks for this one.
