More From Evan Esar

Mrs forrester ... sat in state, pretending not to know what cakes were sent up, though she knew, and we knew, and she knew that we knew, and we knew that she knew that we knew, she had been busy all the morning making tea-bread and sponge-cakes.
Morning Cake Tea
I will continue to fight for legislation that forces congress to read the bills! i will fight for a vote on my bill that calls for a waiting period for each page of legislation. i will continue to object when congress sticks special interest riders on bills in the dead of night! and if congress refuses to obey its own rules, if congress refuses to pass a budget, if congress refuses to read the bills, then i say: sweep the place clean. limit their terms and send them home!
Home Fighting Night
If i knew that today would be the last time i’d see you, i would hug you tight and pray the lord be the keeper of your soul. if i knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, i’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. if i knew that this would be the last time i would hear your voice, i’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. if i knew this is the last time i see you, i’d tell you i love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.
Love You Kissing Doors
If you knew that only a few would care that you came, would you still come? if you knew that those you loved would laugh in your face, would you still care? if you knew that the tongues you made would mock you, the mouths you made would spit at you, the hands you made would crucify you, would you still make them? christ did.

In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.
Suicide Heart Years
He stepped toward her, and her heart just ached from it. his face was so handsome, and so dear, and so perfectly wonderfully familiar. she knew the slope of his cheeks, and the exact shade of his eys, brownish near the iris, melting into green at the edge. and his mouth-she knew that mouth, the look of it, the feel of it. she knew his smile, and she knew his frown, and she knew- she knew far to much.

Heart Possibility Beats
My brothers are so much a part of who i am, and such a large part of my heart and my drive. i've never had a kid, but i understand that whole, "i would kill for my family" kind of thing. i understood it, it resonated with me. it's a very primal, animal thing that you feel for your family.
