The Reason that Can Be Reasoned Is Not the Eternal Reason, The Name that Can Be Named Is Not the Eternal Name
The weasel that can be weaseled
is not the eternal weasel.
The nose that can be nosed
is not the eternal nose.
The burger that can be cheeseburged
wears not its coat of cheese well.
The humble ho-ho that can be hoed
will eternally be hosed.
The eternal ass
can't be assessed with twenty twenty vision.
The last rose standing
in eternity will have never really risen.
Thus and here it is: You can
get what you want, but, it's silly--
you'll have never really gotten it,
not what you wanted really.
A poker game that can be gamed
will never poke eternal.
And the eternal chicken
will not be chicked
by some cat named "the colonel."
