TREFOLOGY COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE

Los Angeles, CA

TCO POLICY LETTER of February 01, 2017

HAPPY NEW YEAR

***

To the tens of Trefologists the world under,

I want to wish you a happy new y’ar!

***

As some of you know, per the

trefological calendar;

to-day, Wednesday February 1, 02 A.T. ++

signals start of the only sanctioned

first day of the new y’ar

***

Please remember to adjust cheques,

non-trefological calendars,

dental appointments, &c., accordingly.

***

Consider how far we’ve come with

Trefology in just two short years.

When I first began this minor

enterprise of little note,

I had only a stolen nickel in my

pocket & a million dollars in the

bank (loaned to me on the promise

 would one day return the nickel +)

***

It was a more innocent time at the foundation,

the world had not yet learned of the total number

of great composers murdered by Antonio Salieri.

Though, thru my tireless research, we now know

that number to be zero.

***

It is said, Socrates believed the source

of intelligence existed entirely in the

strong chin of a gentleman. Consequently,

men with weak chins would walk through

Athens jutting out their jaw. Or filling

their lower lip with peanut shells.

***

Indeed, some began to use cow dung to

extend their chins to impossible lengths.

These were thought to be the wisest men

of them all.

***

Stories were written of the eager flies

that followed these men about, & our modern

caricature of the fly wearing a graduation

hat & standing in front of a blackboard with

the letters, A,B,C, written in chalk, began

with these great men searching for an easy

path to infinite knowledge.

***

Consider the hummingbird-

Though the hummingbird eats its

own weight in food each day,

it’s really an approximation,

as the creature has only a basic

knowledge of mass, & no direct

access to scales or balances.

***

Finally, consider the young student

who is always tardy. How did they

become tardy?

Is it easy? Or does it require time

spent after school in quiet meditation? 

***

I think I’ll be surprised by my answer.

***

With the advent of Trefology, the

quick & easy path to infinite knowledge ™

food weighing & yes, even the state of

being tardy ™ is something that is

achievable, but it will not be quick, or, easy!

***

Now let us get you on that path & started.

And I promise you will never be asked to

extend your chin with cow dung, at the start.

signed,

GEO. RAYMOND

founder

+ two years after the release of trefology

++ no dice!

“From all of me

to some of you,

I wish a happy & prosperous

new y’ar.”

Some days I wonder

if I wasted all

those years just a

poppin’ & a-lockin’

As a kid I was so

shy I couldn’t even

listen to the album

Meet the Beatles.

***

Because, well

***

what if they

didn’t like me?

My slinky is

so old

that these days

it just takes

over 500 tubs

Yet, if you were

to rend

what remains

he would

probably fit
