Random Thoughts and Observations

 
*
Blinded by ego,
he tried to kick his shadow
to the curb.

The shadow was faster.
The shadow escaped.
Freedom at last!
*
He had no shame.
He also had no shadow.
He had a shadow once,

but the shadow
requested a reassignment.
Shadows have feelings too!

*
What kind of guy
challenges his shadow
to a pissing contest

on a windy day?
Lesson learned:
Blowback is a bitch!

He had one weakness
which was his only strength! *
He describes himself as a dreamer.

Others describe him as a nightmare.
The majority rules.
Ain’t no sunshine where he goes!
