THREE OLD MONK POEMS (105)
IF WHAT YOU WANT
If what you want
is more of it,
put your order
in sooner,
they told the old monk.
That's how it
usually works.

THE OLD MONK
The old monk
and the poet
were talking
about poets
and the old
monk said,
soon there'll
be so many
we won't have
enough readers.
And the poet
said that's not
a problem
for the poets.

HOW LONG DO YOU
How long do you
let it rot
before you eat it,
the old monk asked
the vulture.
The vulture
said I wait til I'm
good and hungry.
