A caveman exceeded his boundaries and crossed from the past to the now and the honourable he without any fear stood bemused in the centre of town. Shoulders protested the extra weight of the beast of burden he carried and he looked for a spot to bury the lot but, of course, too long he had tarried. He thought to hijack a passing truck but his luck was sunken in gloom so instead of a truck a shooting star to carry it up to the moon. The man in the moon, nobody’s fool passed it along to the milky way and then the sky rumbled out loud, “Send it back down to earth as rain”. The beast of burden tumbled right down and, lo and behold, I was out there in the rain collecting the pain instead of just messing about. “What to do now?” asked Lady O’Me with the hey all soggy and wet so she dived for a cave in the country to pay off his karma debt. And that Lady O’Me, nobody’s fool passed it off as a freak of nature and then her heart died of overdue fright because karma’s a damn awful creature. The caveman today still stands bemused because he’s made as a country lad so he wanders the streets in a beggar’s suit until he becomes a man! Helen / 12 September 2005 |

Helen, you got me chuckling all the way through this delightfully non-sensical piece of fun poetry!  Loves 'n Laughs ~ and to having no more karmic debt to pay off in this lifetime!   Linda |

"and then her heart died of overdue fright because karma’s a damn awful creature" On the surface....funny. But you know, I know all too well. Maybe, someday.... No dead hearts though, okay?! Or, at least, wishing the heart nine lives, at least! .....jo |

Jo - "I know" must be one of the most comforting statements ever devised. Thank you! |
