"The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.

O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.'

 

L. Carroll

 

The Walrus   And The Carpenter

 

 

 

Life is fascinating and if we only concentrate   on sad things we   will die young and   exhausted.   If we concentrate on the   seemingly good things   we can become obese because food seems to be the ultimate reference point; food and maybe drink.

So we better concentrate on the ODD things because those are in abundance nowadays and   you can laugh or cry at   your leisure. Whatever   you prefer. I made my judgment.
