limerick pair: Time to kill

Introduction: Enjoy life by doing nothing whenever possible. For example, you can 'kill time' by watching a cat sleep. You find joy, but not nearly as much as does the cat.

Be happy, relaxed, and not blue.

Wasting hours is such fun to do.

Never any crime,

Simply killing time.

What you think it's doing to you?

Laughing at life is not a crime.

It's never murder to kill time.

You just get even.

And with good reason.

Warns each mirror, "Vengeance is mine!"

free verse: Do no harm

Peace requires cooperation.
Cooperation requires progress.
Progress requires kindness.

Do not crush the competition.
Crush instead all competition.
You win only when no one loses.

free verse: Right now

Past, partially recorded, fades into fables.

Future, potentially expected, hides among fantasies.

Right now, actually experienced, dies of facts.
Right now is infinity's cosmic kitten.

Listen carefully to its honest purr. Pet and praise each mortal moment.
