Misery is the root of happiness Says the Tao Te Ching I wander from place to place My left shoulder Larger than my right At least I know It's permanent now Remember the stoic calm I hope to meet more friends in life Beautiful women Please don't smile at me Like this asian woman I saw as I looked out Across the offices On the second floor Beautiful she was And I wonder what it would be like Not to have an akward shoulder To feel comfortable In my own body And to have a female friend Same dull expression Workout at gym everyday Hear same meaningless expressions Like "Step it up" Please don't say that to that poor guy Yes he was unemployed Many people are in California I practice the way of non striving From time to time I go through this life The psychotherapist Blah She is gone now A distant memory And no I will not contact her Once I find a full time job Like she suggested That time is gone And so the Taoist approaches life As one meaningless moment to the next He has not experienced The union of man and woman I cannot fix my left shoulder Despite all the good physical therapy Exercises I am doing Why does it have to be bigger than the right Oh well That's life Better to let go of all desires Live in the present The present moment is powerful And that lady smiled at me As if she could tell I was sad I suppose so I looked out on the horizon As I did when I was young Life And Jesus will come one day Who knows when I hope heaven is a fun place I just want to play golf there And have female friends I enjoy sweeping my home And now I am going to pay a parking ticket As my food digests I am 30 And I have spent many hours Alone

Asian Lady's Pretty Smile
Misery is the root of happiness Says the Tao Te Ching I wander from place to place My left shoulder Larger than my right At least I know It's permanent now Remember the stoic calm I hope to meet more friends in life Beautiful women Please don't smile at me Like this asian woman I saw as I looked out Across the offices On the second floor Beautiful she was And I wonder what it would be like Not to have an akward shoulder To feel comfortable In my own body And to have a female friend Same dull expression Workout at gym everyday Hear same meaningless expressions Like "Step it up" Please don't say that to that poor guy Yes he was unemployed Many people are in California I practice the way of non striving From time to time I go through this life The psychotherapist Blah She is gone now A distant memory And no I will not contact her Once I find a full time job Like she suggested That time is gone And so the Taoist approaches life As one meaningless moment to the next He has not experienced The union of man and woman I cannot fix my left shoulder Despite all the good physical therapy Exercises I am doing Why does it have to be bigger than the right Oh well That's life Better to let go of all desires Live in the present The present moment is powerful And that lady smiled at me As if she could tell I was sad I suppose so I looked out on the horizon As I did when I was young Life And Jesus will come one day Who knows when I hope heaven is a fun place I just want to play golf there And have female friends I enjoy sweeping my home And now I am going to pay a parking ticket As my food digests I am 30 And I have spent many hours Alone
