Today let our blog be silly, silly PJ's. Why so? Well, T. S. Eliot wrote a poem entitled "Preludes". This strikingly radical poem, which changed wor(l)ds, ends with a brilliant image which captures the futility of reality.
T. S. Eliot ends his poem with "wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;/The worlds revolve like ancient women/ gathering fuel in vacant lots."
So much in so many places, the high space parliament to hi-fi corporate companies, is so astounding that reeling, like the Eliot image, is the effect! After such realities, what sincerity? what seriousness? what authenticity? what 'alter-natives'? Instead, as ever, only very many narratives! Hence let us, too, wipe our hands across our mouths and laugh out loud!
1) The Trust deficit:
Why do not scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!
2) The prize and the news
Why did the scarecrow win a Nobel prize? Because she was outstanding in her field.
3) Such is 'no bell'!
Knock, Knock! Why? Who? "Nobel" Why? Who? "Nobel, that’s why I knocked!"
4) Shame! Shame!
Why did the tomato blush? Because he saw the salad dressing.
5) The final cut!
Why is grass so dangerous? Because it is full of blades!
Pratima@When realities are crazy, laughter is the last refuge! The more PJ-ish, the better!
Quote of the day: "Rhetoric is not important," asserted Nelson Mandela. "Actions are!"
Word of the day: Disillusionment Disillusionment is a sense is of disappointment and unhappiness resulting from discovering the truth about someone or something previously respected or admired. It occurs when reality fails to match high expectations, often leading to a disenchanting loss of faith in ideals.
