The Ultimate Question
the best answer
is from Bob Mortimer
and 2 Babybells
he transmogrified their red wax coats
with a flaming serviette, winding a wick
as a beacon light
with pocket cheese
to sustain you during
the realisation
that many questions do not
have answers and it is okay
to enjoy life anyway
