Deteriorata

[jack]

Go placidly
Amid the noise and waste.
And remember what comfort there may be
In owning a piece thereof.

 

[jack]

Avoid quiet and passive persons
Unless you are in need of sleep.

 

[jack]

Rotate your tires.

 

[jack]

Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself
And heed well their advice,
Even though they be complete fucking assholes.

 

[jack]

Know what to kiss.....and when!

 

[jack]

Consider that two wrongs never make a right
But that three.........do.

 

[jack]

Wherever possible, put people on hold.

 

[jack]

Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is still a big future in computer maintenance.

 

[jack]

Remember the Pueblo.

 

[jack]

Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle and mutilate.

 

[jack]

Know yourself.
If you need help, call the FBI.

 

[jack]

Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you.
That lemon on your left, for instance.

 

[jack]

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.

 

[jack]

Fall not in love therefore;
It will stick to your face.

 

[jack]

Gracefully surrender the things of youth:
The birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan
And let not the sands of time get in your lunch.

 

[jack]

Hire people with hooks.

 

[jack]

For a good time call 606-4311;
Ask for "Ken."

 

[jack]

Take heart amid the deepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.

And reflect that whatever misfortune may be your lot
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

 

[jack]

Therefore, make peace with your god
Whatever you conceive him to be---
Hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.

 

[jack]

With all its hopes, dreams, promises and urban renewal
The world continues to deteriorate.
