Ponderisms

Sink a drink or murder one?

Massacre might suffice.

You can have two if you want one

but don’t be greedy.

Does eternity have stay-press trousers

or disposable clothes?

If cured ham is ok to eat

why consume smoked fish?

Even deaf people go to hearings.

Gynaecologists leave the room while you strip.

God is good; electricity from electrons,

morality from morons,

asteroids outside the hemisphere,

haemorrhoids…

you were right, I would/did like this one and it has created the best type of reaction... inspiration!

I really enjoyed the line 'Does eternity have stay-press trousers, or disposable clothes'
Quirky, conceptual and deep routed, a delicious combination.

I have had a few of these ponderisms myself but this poem has introduced a few more for me to consider.

Funny thoughts, my favorite lines is the last "asteroids outside the hemisphere, haemorrhoids…" my only suggestion is check your spelling of the word hemorrhoids. I know the spelling of this word because as a medic giving medical care to Iraqi detainees in Iraq I've had to document the visualiztion of far to many of them.
