We often slap labels on things and limit ourselves from seeing other possibilities. The more I consider this poem the more I like it!

To pee or not to pee on the hydrant. Had to sit down to think about it. Then, skateboarded to the Art House.

Maybe I'm too old and out of touch, but I just don't understand this poem at all. Somebody please explain it to an old codger.

From one old codger to another, I don't get it either, Cowboy.

Well, this one isn't about plot....literary devices suggest possibilities rather than just one meaning..

I read this poem an allegorical writing and slapstick commentary on the present world as such.

Absolutely...Indeed I had that as a possibility in my mind as well...

Maybe PH left out some? Is this the whole 'poem'? ? ? 'A dog sat down on an old skateboard left resting beside a hydrant and made a philosopher' I'm not the only one who doesn't 'get it', despite some other comments left. bri ? ?
