Xavier lifted the large volume, admiring its gold leaf cover. He leafed through it, looking at the cover page ("Lessons for Living"), then started in on page one."You should be a Leader, not a Loser. Heed these Lessons; you shall be Lavishly rewarded.
What is your Lot in Life? Is there Laughter? Or are you Languishing in a Lukewarm existence? Do you seek a new Lease on Life? Is your Love Life Lackluster?"
So far, seemed like typical new age Lunacy. He skipped to mid-book, and read the leading lines:
"Law #86: When life gives you Lemons, Lose them
Law #87: Light the Lamp, then Listen
Law #88: Let Love be your Landlord
Law #89: Life is Linear; Not Lucky"
These seemed to come out of left field, suitable for the landfill; no logic at all. Then Law 90 leapt off the page.
"Law 90: When you Let her go, you felt Liberated. Leaving her Lightened your Load. But she shall Land in your Life again. And you shall Lament that you ever Lost her.
Law 91: Learn to Love Lettuce at Lunch..."
OK, Xavier thought, the list was getting loopy again. He closed the book and loped down the lawn, suddenly feeling just a little lonely.

Let love be your landlord?! Hmmm..I must ponder that one.
Looks Like Line 90 is his Lesson to Learn.
Yes, I liked #88 too. Looks like love liberates the lost!
This is like a book I could possibly write. :)
I do think he needs to have lettuce at lunch, it will keep him from getting LARGE. :)
LOVE it! You are really creative. I love your new header photo too.
LOL!
Poor Xavier~he needs to Get A Life. Happy Monday from A-Z; from AZ. :D
Psychoanalysis: Your inspiration seems to be Adrian Belew's "Elephant Talk" (King Crimson, "Discipline"): "These are words with an L this time".
"Sesame Street" for those who refuse to grow up. This program is brought to you by the Letter L.
Oh my, poor Xavier! HA! He sounds Lost for sure. I hope things start Looking up for him next week. Happy Monday (yeah, I know it's Wednesday, just play along like I made it here earlier in the week) to you! :D
