There was a poem in the preface to either mystery joke book or big book
oif play, and the page is missing from my copy of whichever book it was
in -- I htink my college roomie took the page to have it xeroxed and
never returned it.
I am seeking the text of the enitre poem..can't recall the beginning
but a few lines it it says
I would rather be a laughting fish than the president of the universe
but if I must be both to float, then I will hollow out a boat
from gentle bamboo, and set it out upon the sea, among the stars
and it's banner shall be a sign of fire
and it's kitchen shall be open from noon to noon
and none shall go away unfull
even if we have to eat the moon
ayeon who can proved the missing lines, I'd be grateful
