On Life:
Life is not having been told that the man has just waxed the floor.
When life is extinct each corpse is linked
To its gibbering murderer,
As a chicken is bound with wire around
The neck of a killer cur.
(From: A Tale Of The Thirteenth Floor)
Did I tell you that the prospects for my future social life couldn’t be barrener?
(From: So Does Everybody Else, Only Not So Much)
Middle-aged life is merry, and I love to lead it.
Stuyvesant chats with Kelly and Katz, The professor warms to the broker, And life is good in the brotherhood Of an air-conditioned smoker
On Happiness:
Happiness is having a scratch for every itch.
The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.
