Ollie and Stanley in the Garden

 

November 23, 2010  (I was 66)

 

             Ollie and Stanley in the Garden

Ollie:      Stanley, what do you do when you have no

             money for food?

Stanley:  I admire someone’s garden

Ollie:      And what will that do?

Stanley:  I don’t know.  I just know hunger makes it

             easy to admire a garden.

Ollie:      Would you steal some vegetables if no one

             was looking?

Stanley:  Well, that would depend, wouldn’t it?

Ollie:      Depend on the kind of vegetables, how many

             there were, who owned them, how much they

             would be missed?

Stanley:  Yes, those things and maybe more.

Ollie:      And what would you know if you had all that

              information?

Stanley:  I’d know how hungry I really was.

 

-I did a series of pieces using Laurel and Hardy as

representations of right brain and left brain perception.

Not an original idea, I got it from Colin Wilson’s study,

Frankenstein’s Castle.  More appear in other posts.
