We get,

what we get

because:

That’s what we got.

This is the possessive,

of Popeye’s philosophical high point:

“I yam what I yam an’ tha’s all I yam.”

Which is the cartoon reflection,

of the Hippie truism:

“It is what it is cause that’s what it is.”

Which is the modern reflection,

of Aristotle’s insight

into the law of identity:

“Whatever is, is,”

Which is the verbal expression,

for the math term:

For all a: a = a.

When I’m alone God is there with me.  When I’m nothing, God is my everything.  When I’m sad God is my song of joy.  And when I’m weak God is my strength.
