Life Equation

by Evelyn Rainey

I don't think there's a difference between

People who seek

Scientific truths and people who seek

A greater understanding of God. 

I think the only thing is

The way they go about it. 

Scientist sees X+Y-5%/2Qx97 = 158 and finds

Meaning in life trying to establish

A value for every part of the equation. 

Spiritualist sees X+Y-5%/2Qx97 = 158 and finds

Meaning in life celebrating the mysterious

Flow of the problem and its sure solution. 

Same equation. 

Same answer. 

Different ways of enjoying it.

Could a man really love a woman so much? One word, one phrase from her lips, and they would be changed forever.

Orchi Cadence

(Done in a marching cadence)

Leader: Oolongs are ugly and oolongs smell

Group: But I’d rather kiss an oolong than rot in jail.

Leader: Scorps are poisonous and scorps do sting.

Group: But I’d rather be scorped than speak Alliang.

Leader: Crocs are fierce and crocs run well.

Group: But I’d rather kiss a croc than lift a monster’s veil.

Leader: Stinkvine strangles and makes you wince.

Group: But I’d rather live in stinkvine than in the Dam’lince!

Leader:Then go and get you some, says Oleg.

Don’t you remember the last time you came here?I need a husband to have children, and I am too ugly to entice a husband.

That’s alright, I’m beautiful enough for the both of us.

From far above him, the voice called again, You don’t remember how ugly I am, do you?

Chorus:Ummmmmm.

Leader:No, Ugly Amanita, I remember you were ugly, not how very ugly you were.I tend to forget things, says Oleg.

From far above in the tree house, Ugly Amanita said, Take your sire and go, Beautiful Oleg.For you may give me beautiful children, but they would be the stupidest children on all Orchidea, and I couldn’t bare that.

Oleg ran out of the compound.
