I don't dig people who think 'optimism' is like some kind of cult. I am too pessimistic to be classified an optimist and too optimistic to be labeled a pessimist. My cup is never half empty or half full, rather, I fill it up to the brim, drink it dry, and fill it again after I piss.

I love reading folks this poem, in person, or on stage, and hearing their laughter when I get to the end.

I, too, love this poem. Simultaneously profound and funny.

Reinhold niebuhr would find this as another compliment as well. he was known as the pessimistic optimist of the twentieth century. Comments are closed.
