If holes were not holes,

Doughnuts would be ordinary rolls,

Stale and boring, with price tags

Lying sadly in big shopping bags.

Through them you can't observe a motley street

And life doesn't seem a lovely fair treat.

But there are doughnuts with a hole.

The man who invented them was a kindly soul.

They are loved by different sorts of guys,

Bankers, children and even spies.

If you look through them, all problems become tiny,

People - cheeerful, and life - very bright and shiny.

Stop being stubborn and open your mind.

Look through a doughnut: the hole's a great find !!!

**************************************

The hole does make sense to children: they can look through it!

The optimist sees a doughnut, the pessimist sees a hole.

I am neither an optimist nor a pessimist. I am a realist.

What is a hole? It's emptiness or nothing. At the same time, it's an inseperable part of a doughnut because without it a doughbut is not a doughnut (in the same way as a lifebuoy ring is not a lifebuoy ring without a hole). If nothing is a part of doughnut, then what is a doughnut?

What does a pessimist sees when he looks at a doughnut? Just a hole? I don't think so. Maybe he is trying to find his lifebuoy ring.

To my mind, a hole has a more interesting philosophical meaning than a doughnut itself.

Thank you for your interesting information. I didn't know before that Mr.Levitt was an immigrant from Russia.

This guy seems so serious I would like to make faces  like a monkey to cause even slightly smile on his face

Recover soon!

It must be cool to feel oneself a spy  at the process of  hiding during the photo-taking process!

P.S. Katie Melua is really  cool!

I f a person is agamic, ageless and homeless it doesn’t matter!

 the possession of bottomless soul and boundless mind makes him much more real than belonging to gender , country and time;)

Thank you for the poem!!

Feel you became a fervent admire of Hafiz;)

Thank you!;)    that's for you!  I mean the dance of flowers

******************************************

The lily seemed to menace me,

And showed its curved and quivering blade,

While every frail anemone

A gossip's open mouth displayed

And here and there a graceful group

Of flowers, like men who worship wine,

Each raising up his little stoup

To catch the dew-drop's draught divine

  (from"The lesson of the flowers")

 Wish you   dance with amazing floweres!

It's always possible to decoirate one's life.

Just a little of imagination... and the absense of the boss...

I am

so,

so,

so

sorry for that terrible mistake, that I have made  blurting

" daydreaming" , as  I failed to learn your  time-table!

I didn't find the term " night-dreaming" in blurting... 

That's why I send it in comment -box!

P.S.The Cheshire cat is my favourite charachter in " Alice in Wonderland".

What do you think about him?
