| Posted by Amy Niggel on 06/18/03 at 12:34 PM This is great. It made me smile and think about things as well. Great job! |
| Posted by Anne Engelen on 06/18/03 at 02:46 PM This is far most the best "no answer" one could get! |
| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 06/18/03 at 03:01 PM and "Indeed"...seeming to put the exclamation point to all...GREAT work JD |
| Posted by Britt Zimmerman on 06/18/03 at 05:42 PM ha ha ha JD you are simply amazing...thanks for adding humor to my day! :):):) |
| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 06/18/03 at 07:37 PM Clever satire on the desire to retrieve all the answers through technology and without much effort! Instant answers wanted to instant quesions. |
| Posted by Mara Meade on 06/19/03 at 12:33 AM One of my favourites, Jadi. What a picture...and what a great thought. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 06/19/03 at 01:04 PM Witty, funny, entertaining, realistic analogy of how we are always seeking answers and never getting them at least here on Earth. :o) |
| Posted by David R Spellman on 06/19/03 at 02:41 PM True to form you pull out this gem of a piece in a way that no other can! |
| Posted by Ulyss Rubey on 06/19/03 at 05:24 PM Great-Vivid!Should have been a skit in Bruce Almighty;-) |
| Posted by Kate Demeree on 06/22/03 at 02:31 AM I like this JD a whole lot.. it made me smile while imparting wisdome. I remember it... Like it no matter what the title.. and the twist at the end is a real winner! |
| Posted by Richard D Frederick on 06/22/03 at 05:31 AM yes, an excellent poem, and, like Joseph, i too feel late. |
| Posted by Alex Smyth on 06/23/03 at 12:51 AM And not a maintenance guy in sight to get your money back, right?:O) |
| Posted by Max Bouillet on 06/23/03 at 02:33 AM Excellent... I loved the almost audible thud. Like a weight crushing down on curiosity... great work. |
| Posted by Ginette T Belle on 06/27/03 at 02:20 AM how could you not fall in love with this wonderfully metaphoric poem...good job |
| Posted by Charles J Hannan on 06/28/03 at 03:02 AM this is tops...a vending machine with life answers..who would have thunk it..hehehe..great piece JD!! |
| Posted by Jean Mollett on 06/28/03 at 05:27 AM Hi Clay,
Good one, very clever. Avending machine, ya just can't trust machines all the time. Hee! Hee! That question must have been a good one, it blew up the machine. Jean |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 07/07/03 at 03:50 AM man-oh-man, another jadi blast! gees, don't think i will ever approach that big red beast on the 5th floor in exactly the same manner... maybe i'll even remember your question and answer. sweet tomato jadi. |
| Posted by Maryellen Lebeda-Parra on 07/10/03 at 01:40 AM i do like this too ... nothing to say that hasn't been said . .. just had to make a note |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 07/10/03 at 12:57 PM I love that there is at least one prodding in the cubby holes of the world for these little bits of e'er interesting curious. thanks for that Jadi |
| Posted by Jeanne Marie Hoffman on 07/25/03 at 06:54 AM Wit at its finest! Your poetry is quite clever |
| Posted by Susan Q Tomas on 12/03/03 at 02:36 PM Yes sir, this is memorable. I really like this. |
| Posted by Rusty C Arquette on 01/31/04 at 05:59 PM Lately, I've lost several dollars in this machine..but it is worth it just knowing where the machine is (chuckle) - The next time you see me, I'll buy... - RCat 'May your house be blessed from Tigers' |
| Posted by Amanda Bullington on 09/06/04 at 03:08 AM that's the most unique poem i've ever read. i love the style...and the topic..like others said serious and comical at the same time. |
| Posted by Laura Doom on 05/28/07 at 07:31 PM Impossible to dispense with irony - and I was so hoping for an explosive ending :) Classic. |
| Posted by David Hill on 07/16/07 at 12:24 AM That is as clear as it ever gets. Clever and true. It reminds me of a scene with Mickie Dolenz in the Monkees movie, "Head." |
| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 07/19/07 at 04:09 AM Most excellent. I'm glad to see this one again! |
| Posted by Maria Massarella on 10/30/07 at 08:14 PM Each time I scent a doubt or sense an insecurity I slip into my question and press my inner archives there where I treasure your poem - and it thuds in me - the words arise - licking my lips I savour the taste of the explosive - "Why Not!?" and make it mine ... *m.a |
| Posted by A. Paige White on 01/06/08 at 12:34 AM LOL! What a rip off. For such a profound question surely only a 20 oz. can would have quenched your dearth. |
| Posted by Junemarie Roldan on 05/24/08 at 05:05 PM Why not indeed. A witty, insightful write |
| Posted by Olivia Martin on 09/22/08 at 11:50 PM Absolutely outstanding - utterly humorous, and yet at the same time, frighteningly honest. Keep up the wonderful word craft! |
| Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 02/27/09 at 02:49 PM For the umpteenth time I love (the ultra humor truth in) this, and thought I have, by now, left a comment. However, as it turns out, the poem takes me into another realm of thought, and I oddly forget that I'm visiting on a machine. This time I'm slipping my comment coupon in. And my comment is |
| Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 02/27/09 at 02:53 PM "Wow! You are light years of poetry. And you are amazing, JD."
|
| Posted by Allison Smith on 07/15/09 at 05:45 AM hahaha how refreshing! |
| Posted by A. Paige White on 05/31/12 at 02:01 AM Great to chuckle my way back through your library again. Still loving this one. |
