Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee
that was said by Mohamed Ali
I wish I had said that
or something equally funny
instead I bring you quotes from famous people
while I sit here waiting for inspiration to come up and bite me
not that I wish to be famous at all
I just want to write stuff that rings your bell
stops you in your tracks
makes you spit out your cornflakes laughing
but maybe you don’t eat cornflakes for breakfast
I cannot imagine folks spitting out granola or smoked salmon while reading my words
it has to be cornflakes
all I need to do now
is think of a funny quote
maybe a bowl of cornflakes will inspire me
“ask not what your cornflakes can do for you
– ask what you can do for your cornflakes”
