Simpler

I got tired of the high life and sold my car, home, TV, computer, hot tub, and my original Van Gogh pajamas.

I took the money and bought a covered wagon and two horses.

Last night I camped out in the desert and cooked up a skillet of beans over an open fire.

A sidewinder slithered by and said, “What brings you out here, partner?”

I said, “I’m looking for the simpler life.”

The sidewinder said, “I’d trade all of this for a luxury condo on the Seine.”

I chopped up the sidewinder and added it to the beans. It’s good to eat locally grown food.
