Happiness is fleeting,
as it should be.
Its ebb and flow
is like a tide that marks
time for us and lets us know
we are still alive.
To hold onto it too long
is like sleeping on only one side.

About me
- HK Stewart
- I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Only the Swiss
Only the Swiss have holes
Even their money is cheesy
With all those chocolate chalets
Their mistake fermenting
Cheese, they capitalized on
Only the Swiss sell holes
So many secret bank accounts
No tax collector can figure them out
Within all those chocolate chalets
Snow made Swiss think of vanilla
Icing around each doughnut
Only Swiss know to use holes
You’d think they’d all be diabetic
But they burn it off by skiing
Down all those chocolate chalets
Don’t put money under your bed
Invest in a secret cheese account
Since only Swiss mice make holes
In all those chocolate chalets.
