My Tibetan gardener
mumbled 'hope causes suffering'
after I'd rescinded his
free Saturday -
My God! I thought -
I could've hired a Mexican...
I can't help it if my wife
suddenly springs a Sunday garden party on me
A curse, it was -
my whole portfolio wilted -
I missed a promotion -
all because of
'hope causes suffering' muttered by a
little man
who 'removes' insects
instead of extinguishing them.
