Echo From A Suspicious Planet

One quadrant of a feller’s brain said, “I only report what has happened.”
And some passing free radicals thought, “What a perfectly good waste.”

One ole major instructed his soldierly son,
“Don’t ever let them catch you crying,
but if you do, tell ‘em it’s because you were
just reflecting on their inevitable passing.”

Wait’ll those upset about the past
get a load of the future.

Whilst visiting this suspicious seeming planet, I saw a chap sitting in an impressive
booth by a major thoroughfare with a banner overhead that read,
“The Ultimate Secret Revealed $12,000.00.”
(He told me it was to keep away the tire kickers.)

Well…once you’ve said “That”…there’s really not much else to say,
now is there.
