Absurdity? Absurd!

by George Hoerner

But I do exist
Absurd!
I know, but still
So, what's this
absurdity?

Well, it started
with a question
that expected
an answer

But a question can't...
I know, I know
that is the point
So what expected
if not the question

It must have been
the answer
What?
Absurdity

It makes sense
Now THAT
is absurd

I thought it
was absurdity
No, I mean sense
What?

Never mind!
I do exist
I do
I think

Absurd!

this made me chuckle. in a good way. (i think it was because i read each "Absurd!" like an old announcer man) i enjoyed it muchly.

I like this because it (to me) expresses the absurdity of asking absurd questions! LOL!!

I guess, to make sense of the absurd is to accept that to make sense of the absurd is to accept that to make sense of the absurd...tell me if I'm not making sense :> George - you woke me up! Is that sensational or what?

The existential dilemma. Good stuff. Witty and innovative.

the most absurd cure in the world is to have a ready answer at our disposal; rather than have the answers be the RX, I think questions, posing one a day, akin to apples keeps Doc Holiday away.
