Seeing the Light

How much should I weigh
to be as light as a feather?
It depends if I am dressed
or I am in the altogether.

But even if I am wearing 
very light summer clothes
it might be appropriate
to cast aside those.

Yet discarding clothing
may not be enough
and it doesn't matter
if you are in the buff.

Because no one knows
or he's prepared to say
what a light feather
does exactly weigh.

If you were an ant a feather would be too heavy to carry. It is all relative, as Einstein rightly remarked. The last straw broke the camel's back .. .. you yourself once was as light as a feather, as an embrio. Ok ok

Cheers Luigi! Tom

Can't argue with your logic, Tom.

All the best, Luigi

They told me of a movie (I never saw it, Monty Python I think) where this guy eats and eats gets bigger and bigger and more and more massive and as he has his last cookie it was his final cookie and he explodes all over the show.

Keep well & Nolan
