All That I Know Poem by Suburban Lovechild

Of Beauty,
All I know is that it varies proportionally to the label on your jeans.

Of Physics,
All I know is I get up in the morning and fall down at night.

Of History,
All I know is what I can't see anymore is past, and what I'm afraid to see is future.

Of Music,
All I know is one man's Bach is another man's Zeppelin.

Of Stability,
All I know is that it's unstable.

Of Humor,
All I know is that it makes us realize what idiots we really are.

Of Economy,
All I know is that it's like a lobotomy.

Of Adolescence,
All I know is that it caused my parents to lose all of their brains.

Of Maturity,
All I know is that somehow my parents found them again, probably under the loveseat or something.

Of Cars,
All I know is that my stereo works.

Of Marriage,
All I know is that it's something my friends do occasionally.

Of Divorce,
All I know is that I could lose more than everything.
