He was an odd sort...fancied himself a comedian.
“If I were to be abandoned upon a deserted island
and allowed to take along with me only one thing,”
he would often say,
“I think that I should bring with me a clitoris.”
Sometimes you have to laugh.
He lived a long life, in fact the longest life of any yet
still, in part because of him, he had to die, as do we all.
Man! He was funny!
I asked him once what he could remember of his first thought.
He said to me,
“Son, some things must forever remain
between Man and his maker.”
Sometimes it’s better not to pry.
As for his second thought;
he told me that after he woke up (for the first time)
he found himself sitting under that tree,
...he blinked
and thought,
“What the fuck was that?“
Man!
You got to laugh.
Yea, the original funny Man.
Damn you Adam for making us laugh.

this is damn funny. my attorney will be contacting you regarding the tipped over chair which gained a final velocity as i read the second and third lines and landed on the neighbor's dogs head ... he was a small dog and as he was squirted out the window, the shattering glass blew into the parking lot with my cackling and giggles all of which landed upon a large fellow with a bad day in his craw and who stomped up the stairs and fell down on the stairs and and ... ya know?
