"Desiderata" is a beautiful inspirational poem written by Max Ehrmann in
1927. I had collected several versions of the poem in addition to the
original. Obviously there is some
confusion as to where it came from. However I discovered, through a
threat of legal action from Robert L. Bell, that all Max Ehrmann poems
have been compiled in a series of inspirational books which have been copyrighted.
I apologize for breach of copyright. To those who appreciated this section
of my page, I apologize. I retain a list of what I had collected, and links
that you are free to follow. I accept no responsibility for what you may find

"I Like Monkeys" is a
popular amusing story that's been floating around the internet for a while
written by an anonymous author. I've included it in my collection of stories
(click picture) simply because it's a brilliant piece of literature.
And I've been accused of looking like a monkey. :)
