A passing thought for friend Tate

a poem

 

 

 

A Passing thought.

 

An optimistic pessimist.

 An oxymoron without doubt

and yet such crazy thoughts persist.

 Something for me to think about.

 

As I consider carefully.

A pessimist who hopes he’s right

 is thinking optimistically.

 

Though what that proves I do not know.

Except I think it could be so.

 

Though everybody won’t agree.

Well Ivor this is a write to ponder about! You put great thought into this!
I'm not sure either what it proves except that I enjoyed it!
