sometimes I think I've figured it out

and a half-hour later I'm plunged into doubt


I weary of messing with what I can't understand

it more than enough to deal with the matters at hand


but I'll give you a penny for your millionaire thoughts

dealing with imponderables makes you feel out of sorts


so close your eyes and indulge the vice of your choice

and at least for this piddling moment relax and rejoice


it won't last...but at least you'll have some renewing rest

in the continuing saga of Life On Earth...a second at best...


then you may in fresh humor resume

the daily struggle to outwit your doom


as long as you're breathing you're ahead...
