My Thrice Great Grand Pappy,
Zechariah B. Triplegood,
Used to say,

“The only two things, fer sure, are Death and Taxes.”

But what he was REALLY saying,
Once ya figgered out
The Da Vinci Code of it All,
The Madness to the Method of his Riff-Raff Speaking,
So to Speak…
NOW…

Was THAT, the ONLY TWO Illusions in Life are…
DEATH,
And EGO.

There is MORE
To the Me Myself and I Thing
Than can MEET the I
That Tries,

To SEE through Eyes of Lead.
Instead…
Of a Dragon’s…
Diamond Eye.
