Wisdom and Poetry (and conceit)
Our job in raising kids
Is to teach them to be adults.That’s why so many adults
Treat each other like children.And here’s a good poem for Kyle because he said there wasn’t much good poetry on xanga
A Jew, a Christian and a Muslim
Sit down for worse or, so hope goes, better
They must be somewhat secular
Or they wouldn’t be at dinner together.
In NY, where nations live among nations
The world sometimes indeed seems round
The Jew begins, “I hate the Yankees”
And there they find some common ground.

that was beautiful prom
now THAT'S my kind of poetry, brother.
you know, my initial defensive reaction was to say something along the lines of "i still hate kids!" or "i'm not growing up!" or whatever, but you're actually dead on. i've got to the point in my life where i don't go on weekend-long drug binges, i don't party, i'm not trying to sleep with every pretty girl i meet, and i'm damn near ready to have a career instead of just a job, and the things i want out of life have changed. i do want kids; i just don't do well with babies, and so i want them to come out of the womb as toddlers. don't let my gf see that, though. she'll kill me.
