Check Check Check Check Check a Check it Out!

Here's a poem I wrote.


Trademarked Wisdom

I knew a man who could say remarkable things.
He would alway say:
"You show me a man that can eat,
And I'll eat
Fifteen loaves of bread with him."

I remember he would tell me,
"When four and four make eight,
Then it will be done."

Sometimes he'd shout,
"The voice of reason knows nothing!
I am the one
That knows nothing,
And what I do counts!"

He'd remark,
"The clouds look.
The grass sees.
The cows laugh.
We're going to have a long winter."

Now and then he'd quote himself,
"I said
That no one has the key,
For the key has no one
And you are not my brother's keeper."

I had no idea
What he was going on about.

-B. Jackson

So there you go.  That one's for you.
