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”
