Fo paux!

an Irreverent Verse in 8 lines

Descartes said, 

I think, therefore I am,

scoring himself

a philosophical Grand Slam.

At the risk of committing 

a shameless fo paux,

all I can think to say is, 

Well ...dah.

Let me assure you that I attempted one philosophy class in college & did not finish due to persistent napping. I find philosophers to be a snooze-fest, so I welcome your lovely snark upon them. Who do they think they are, dissecting basic bullshit that anyone can identify at a glance, acting all superior, as if there's some special meaning in life, many layers of meaning, that the rest of us dumbfucks can't figure out. Your irreverence is much welcomed & I love your title word (((HUGS)))

PS maybe I should have another cup of coffee . . .

Thanks barleygirl, coming from a fellow-irreverent, high* praise indeed!:)
*to denote possible double-meaning, haha
Re Existential Philosophy, ever read Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death ? Google it, I actually think you might like it, he is more pragmatic.

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

Absolutely funny. This satirical piece really is a modern day philosopher's answer to a past one's statement. Thank you for sharing this work of yours it was as profoundly true as it was funny.
