You May Think

because you read the book,

or because you heard someone mention it

sometime in an English class

or at a cocktail party

(is there really any difference?)

the answer to the universe

and everything in it is 42,

but that is just one man’s opinion.

A pineapple is equal to everything,

as is the square root of a coconut.

not a little brown scabby looking thing

you might find in a white people’s grocery store,

but the big green one

still filled with coconut water,

to be chilled and the end chopped off

with a machete and then with a straw,

you drink think magic coco frio,

and return the hull to the man

with the machete.

(a white man cannot be trusted with a machete, he will want to start a war or something)

and he will chop it in half

so, you can scrap the coconut meat,

the consistency of an under cooked egg white,

out of the shell

with the chip chopped off top

(you should know to save that piece when it is cut off}

yes, the square root of all that.
