Tony…a short story

Tony went in search
of the Meaning of Life
he crossed deserts
mountains
the middle of America and
pretty much the entire globe
he talked to people of all ages
he talked to holy women
the sick, the rich, and the needy
he communed with animals
and Nature Herself
he read
he wrote
he was a Seeker
but in the end
the only answer he could find
was that there was no meaning to life
other than the ones people made up for themselves
surprised by this conclusion
he went back to his log cabin
put up a christmas tree
adopted four cats
two dogs
and a small white bird
then he settled in
opened a bag of cookies
poured himself a cup of coffee
and decided to believe that
there was no point to anything at all
so he may as well sit back
relax
and have fun
