One man went up to a pen of cows and offered to set them free — Wow!
(Several of the lethargic., brown-eyed-ones mooed to one another:
“Boy, I Sure am glad we’re cows and not MEN, or this here story would be a REAL ball-buster!”)

Note: Parables, mythology, and religious allegories are provided to man so that he won’t
Have to directly face up to what MIGHT be possible for MEN to do —
                …say, as opposed to: talking dogs, alien gods, angels, and other assorted, non-human anomalies.

“I now have my post graduate degree, and my professional position in life.
I am now ME!    —           and symbolic-of nothing!”

Once they get off the farm, get away from Eden,
And start acting grown-up.
Well, “P.S.” again — I’ve got to run back down town now,
And pretend some more that I’m somebody, too.
Toodle-oo.)

Q3054-22

Having apparently passed a certain stage in his life,
The man seemed to snap — crackle, even…
And gathering up all of the local conditions he could readily lay his hand thereon,
Held them hostage at gun point, inside a discount electronics store,
Shouting out a warning, every time the authorities would start to draw near;
“Make me any madder —
And I’ll shoot ’em in the bladder!”

Moral: Civilization DOES take its toll on us all —
But in decent neighborhoods it at least has the courtesy to say,
“Have a nice day,” as it takes your money.

Whoaaa! — Life’s got shills EVE-RY WHERE!

After the physician/priest/psychologist had examined the elderly patient/parishioner/client
(Who was old enough to be his great-grandfather)
