The bearded philosophers were puzzled how
such a thing could happen. In any case, they all
had to go now out and get new jobs as a result.

In the churches and temples, all the holy ones
were rejoicing, until both holiness and its lack
were consumed like so many chocolate Oreos.

Imagine: without any way to distinguish between
the elect and the masses, everyone became ordinary,
and thus peace at last broke out around the world!

To all of you storytellers – if you are creating new
myths for us live by, how about trying out that idea,
giving peace a chance like John and Yoko sang?

And Bob, don’t go getting yourself too excited!
Really, this is all just another one of your big ideas,
though maybe on a face or two, it will bring a smile.
