The blank screen stares at me...
Maybe I'll float a little while
Perhaps I'll daydream a smile
Hmmm...I see something...
Doodads
Da doodads say
doo dis
doo dat
dis and dat
dis and dat
dis and dat
disses and dats
go out of whack
I lose track
of da disses and dats
dangling here, dare
and everywhere
Is dis a dat?
Or is dat a dis?
Dey pain my brain
when I search in vain
for da answers are not dare
because doodads doo not care
if dis is
da dis
or if dat
is da dat
so put on da thinking cap
and doo da disses
and doo da dats
and soon it's lotsa fun
doing dis
and doing dat
until da doodads
are all done

The way I’d like to go on living in this world wouldn’t hurt anything, I’d just go on walking uphill and downhill, looking around, and so what if half the time I don’t know what for— so what if it doesn’t come to mean a hill of beans. —Mary Oliver
