Do things you normally wouldn't even consider doing
Buy a book of poems, drink some soup
Check your empty spam folder
Just in case someone didn't forget you
Go home early and late in the same day
Get out of bed because you want to
Make payments at the shareholders meeting of the Absurd
And help support my attempts at being funny
You can do that by being present
At the beginning of laughter and time
You can tell your doctor the truth
Even if no one else will stop and listen
He or she may have a balm for it
To help make it go away
Or at least go into remission
Remission is the staging area for Lies
Corporate and otherwise
We don't have to go on a spaceship to enter another era
Religion will help you do that
Religion will help you do almost anything
You normally wouldn't do
It can even make you regular
If my tongue appears to be stuck in my cheek
You can help get it out by making a healthy donation
Or buying a book of poems, your choice
As I said, help support my attempts at being funny
Try it, buy a book of poems
Your attitude will help change the world
Make payments at the shareholders meeting of the Absurd
In my name, so I don't have to attend those infernal meetings
That have started making sense

Enjoyed this, Jerry!
"Religion will help you do almost anything

Hilarious! You get my vote.
If my tongue appears to be stuck in my cheek
You can help get it out by making a healthy donation
That's a sticky situation.*
It's a mutating virus and can never be cured. When the meetings make sense you are on the verge of oblivion.
