Quoth loosely, or spoken verbatim,
Either way we can love 'em or hate 'em.
But one thing, for sure, is a given,
Love 'em, or not, we're stuck with 'em.
A quote or a saying for every occasion,
Some, full on, some filled with evasion.
Too many cooks with many hands (ahem...cough)
Making light work of spoiling the broth.
Some quotes are meant to inspire you,
Conjuring visions; a beautiful bayou?
And then there are plenty of humorous ones,
Full of clever words, and pithy puns.
On Kerouac, the words of Truman Capote,
Cannot be thought kind, not even remotely;
“That's not writing, it's typing,” he said.
(I imagine dismissively shaking his head)
“I had nothing to offer ... 'cept my own confusion.”
Jack was clear on that, he had no delusion.
(Would you find it amusing if he donned a capote,
While typing the words he so cleverly wrote?)
“Art is anything you can get away with.” Er,
that's sure to make the conservatives shiver.
We've Marshall McLuhan to thank for that,
Well cheers, me ol' mate, here's a tip o' the hat.
