The Stress of Not Having Any Stress

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Sometimes it’s awful.

But who can avoid stress?

Here is the stress of not looking at somebody’s wife’s legs.

Here’s Boccaccio’s Lady Isabella handling life-and-death stress.

Here’s Bo Derek with a younger man who has no stress—until she throws him out.

Like me, Toby is evading Big Brother in Greece, and here he is showing some tourists his stress-avoidance program.

When I feel stressed I write a limerick.

If that doesn’t work I write an idle verse.

And if that doesn’t work I give up. There’s no use getting all stressed!

Underwroght and nervous about it,

R.

Will you please f.o.?
