Diversionary Whimsy

In order to distract myself from my mounting ire about my current state of 'virtual house arrest', I rummage around in my 'archives' for a while.... and turn up this amusing piece of frivol (well, it amuses me...) from 6 months or so ago.


Consolation for Writer's Block

According to a German poet (I forget which one):
"Sleep is good; death is better;
But the best of all is never to have been born.
"
They're a gloomy race, the Germans;
But I take some comfort in this thought.

I heard two writers arguing:
One ruing that his works were languishing unread,
While the other complained that his were still unpublished.
"Mine," I said, "are all unwritten."
(But I think that German guy was right.)
