The Paradox of the Prankster


 My Sunday Mantra -- Joe's Situation Edition
Back to Full Blog  



Joe just walks about
'Most each every day
Going through the motions
Sleep walking life away

Joe hates work alot
Sets up his mind
On doing other things
Deflects those mixed emotions
And all that mess
Which crushed expectations brings

Joe doesn't talk much
Sadness haunts his eyes
Staring towards the ocean
Joe said his goodbyes

Joe almost checked out
But he missed again
Never a good shot
Still caused a commotion
Down by the waterside
It's the perfect spot

Joe's in club
That he never thought he was
A member of.

The Joe Club.

Hey my friend...I'm one of the founding members of the Joe Club.

Something tells me that you need a break from the norm. Come visit me and Chanda (and Rob and Marc). Me thinks that some time in the Sin City that we know as The ATL would do ya good.

Thanks, T, I hope to be on the road some next year. I am paying off my legal bills with my discretionary income. Even with the charges against me being totally dismissed I ended up spending a lot with legal counsel to defend myself and the parties responsible are protected from civil action on my part. I even got rid of my cell phone to help pay the lawyer.

Midnite was awesome last Friday night.

The great thing about not liking work is someday you can make the decision to lower your standard of living so low that you just stoop going.

Thanks for breaking it to me gently, Miss Six.

Clowns were all good to me, well, except for that one time in the mens room at the airport, but that was back in the 80's...

As always, I am delighted that you stopped by. Like a cool, tall, luscious drink of water on a hot dry dusty 95 degree 5420 day. Kinda like today.

The news you shared with me of Larry Harmon was my inspiration to pen this little ditty:

Where have all the Bozos gone
Now whose nose will we get to squeeze
When we want to squeeze the wheeze

Where have all the Bozos gone
No more cartoons and puppet shows
No more setting fire to Bozo's toes

Where have all the Bozos gone
My Mother used to be one of the Bozo-ettes
It's where she learned to smoke cigarettes

Where have all the Bozos gone
Who will fill those big clown shoes
And make us forget our daily blues


May your 4th of July weekend be rockin' in the VB!

Thanks for sharing the fireworks, Miss Lou!

July 4th and fresh corn on the cob, nothing can be finer.

It's a dry hot one out this way and the weekend will be even hotter. Wishing you one darn dandy 4th and may our Republic endure and thrive.

I think you hit on something, Gecko, the lower you go. Then the lower you continue to go. Until one is so gosh darned low, it looks like up to me...

So nice to see you, Colo.

The tides flow in and out, seasons come and they go. Some days I write and then there's the days I don't. I still enjoy my little workshop here. Very much, but I don't get out as much as I used to.

Wishing you the best each and every day!

Thanks for the kind words, Cracker. I am always honored when anyone takes the time to share their mind. May your July 4th weekend be grand!

Joe's getting some adjustments done to his head, Whit. I suspect change will be more than a six letter word in this case.
