The Last Words of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.


The Last words of Kurt Vonnegut Jr
were quiet and profound
when asked about the human condition
He said,"we're just fartin' around.'

Are you being dark and sardonic
or are you being sincere?
'Instead of using our brains," he replied
'we're always using our rears

A friend of mine got angry
he's always so damned uncouth
doesn't he know we're Americans
and we hate to hear the truth

The last words of Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
were quiet and profound
"and so it goes," he shrugged
and caught the last train out of town
