Heard joke once:

man goes to doctor.

says he's depressed.

says life seems harsh and cruel.

says he feels all alone in a threatening world:

where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain.

doctor says

"treatment is simple.

great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight.

go and see him.

that should pick you up."

man bursts into tears.

says "but doctor...

...I am Pagliacci."

good joke

everybody laugh

roll on snare drum

curtains.

and I'm up while the dawn is breaking, even though my heart is aching. I should be drinking a toast to absent friends instead of these comedians.

Sweet Dreams
