Thoughts On The Cosmos

________________________________________________
Title:     Thoughts On The Cosmos
Author: Franklin P. Adams [More Titles by Adams]

I

I do not hold with him who thinks
The world is jonahed by a jinx;
That everything is sad and sour,
And life a withered hothouse flower.


II

I hate the Pollyanna pest
Who says that All Is for the Best,
And hold in high, unhidden scorn
Who sees the Rose, nor feels the Thorn.


III

I do not like extremists who
Are like the pair in (I) and (II);
But how I hate the wabbly gink,
Like me, who knows not what to think!


[The end]
Franklin P. Adams's poem: Thoughts On The Cosmos
