FOUND & LOST

When someone asks what he was like
I can't find a way to describe him
Any one way fails to include
Some essential part of him
Unless the description were very long
But then the point would be lost
Of describing him at all
So I just say "très très cool" which says nothing
So I add "you'd have had to meet him".

MUNDAS VULT DECIPI

What is the point of asking questions if you are more than likely to receive a false answer which you are bound to forget promptly anyway? As such, wouldn’t it be wiser to give over asking questions altogether and start using your own intuition, with aptly interchangeable results? Particularly since you are totally indifferent to both the answer and its dubious veracity in the first place?

How about limiting your questioning to "what did you have for dinner?"
