About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Barron Von Avocado

There once was a curious fellow,


Who couldn't leave them alone.


His brain turned a dark kind of yellow,


Because he wouldn't leave them alone.


The Law said, Young man, you need to be mellow,


But the Buyers promise him a big fat loan.


The Judge said, "Go directly to jail young fellow!


Stolen Avocados, are not yours to own!"

 
This
Poem
is about an actually person named
Barron.
I read his story in the
North County Times Newspaper.
For years he would go around,
late at night,
and steal
Avocados
from the local
Orchards
to sell them to 
Restaurants
in the area.
Which is illegal by both parties.
He needed the money for a drug habit.
The reason why he was in the
Local Newspaper
is because they put out an inquiry to anyone who knew about the growing epidemic of
Avocado Theft In San Diego County.
He not only got his picture in the
Newspaper,
but he admitted to stealing the equivalent of about
$50.00 Per Day Of Avocados.
(Avocados have a growing, then ripening season, just like grapes.)
He was selling them at
25 Cents Each!
Two days later,
after the story broke,
a follow up story told how the
Police
had arrested him after seeing the article
and were trying to charge him for a
“Third Strike Grand Larceny."

This is,
Wondering How Some People Think,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,


“The law, as manipulated by clever and highly respected rascals, still remains the best avenue for a career of honorable and leisurely plunder.”
- Gabriel Chevallier -

That is my poem and I am sticking to it!

Some of might have seen a version of this poem from January 24th, 2013.
It is a short poem but it is a true story.
I personally new Barron,
and I am better off from him never being around again.
You can't trust people who steal items,
no matter how convincing they are,
telling you,
they are your friend.

I didn't have time today to write something new because I am painting the kitchen.
