Why is life Worthwhile?
A Disgruntled Attorney Named Jello
Thought writing would make him more Mellow
He wailed at the Moon
Some Thought him a Loon
And he vowed to be a more happy Fellow.
That may be the first Limerick that I have ever written or said that didn’t contain a rhyme for Nantucket!
I’ve been told that I sound angry and depressed. For today that attitude will change. I’m going to take a page from Woody Allen. In the movie Manhattan ( A movie that I believe to be the greatest romantic comedy) Woody’s character recites what he believes to make life worthwhile. I’m going to do the same today.
Great Comedy: There is nothing like Chaplin, Caesar, Woody Allen or especially the Marx Brothers. Groucho can always lift me from a depression.
The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel and Buddy Holly: The gym that I work out at sometimes plays a re mix of the Beatles with a disco beat. I liken it to putting a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Don’t tamper with perfection!
Monet and Edward Hopper: My wife has given me an appreciation of art to which I’m forever grateful.
The New England Coast: I can’t imagine anyplace more relaxing than the coast of Maine and Massachusetts. If it weren’t for all the Red Sox fans, this would be ideal.
Walks on Fifth Avenue and in Central Park: Take a walk from Rockefeller Center to the Guggenheim, take a detour into Central Park, let yourself get lost, there’s no place better in this world.
Most of all friends and family. You can not substitute anything for a great support system.
This Melancholy Attorney of Real Estate
decided to reevaluate his Journey of fate
It called for a change in Attitude
That would raise his mental altitude
And hopefully help him to lose Weight.
