You’re so vain…
I bet you think this post is about you.
Don’t you? (Hopefully everyone gets the reference!) Anyway, I know there are people reading this who think that I write posts targeted directly at them. No, I’m not being paranoid. I know that there are people who are so obsessed with what I write here that they check on it, just sure that I’m going to make a veiled reference about them or directly to them. No, I’m not being arrogant, either. I know that “they” are out there. The sad thing is, when they’re the most sure that I’m writing about them, I’m not. Of course, trying to convince these people of that is like trying to convince a conspiracy theorist that there’s no conspiracy. (“Ha, see, that’s what they want you to think!”)
Jeez, now I’m starting to sound paranoid! Well, anyway, I’m done making fun of the loonies. They don’t take too well to it. Besides, this little note will keep them going for months…
Okay, now, take a little Advice from your Uncle Jim and just let it go. You’re not always the center of the universe. Honest.
Advice from your Uncle Jim:
"Man is the only kind of varmint that sets his own trap, baits it, and steps in it."
--John Steinbeck
I am not a conspiracy theorist. I’ve been through reconditioning to erase that programming. I’m just a peaceful citizen.

My uncle was a loonie,
a van took him away
my mother went to visit him
most every Saturday
One day she came home very sad
and said she needed time
to think about some things he said
that stuck her as sublime
She went out on the internet
to get a bit of aid
but searching filled up many hours
and made her quite afraid
She started buying from online
a very odd array
of pre-made meals and weaponry
and a solar-powered bidet
Then one day when I came home
she wouldn’t let me in
until I showed my id card
to prove I was her kin
I knew that now the time had come
she must be put away
my cover could be compromised
and involve the CIA.
