Chapter 37
sAnother very reasonable Brit was tJonathan Swift, who thought that the world was full of stupid, inflexible, wrongheaded idiots,
2uFor some reason,
3And wrote it all down in a book called v‘Gulliver’s Travels,’
4About a Brit who met a lot of stupid, inflexible, wrongheaded idiots of different sizes and shapes,
5Including little ones,
6And big ones,
7And even some that were shaped like horses,
8Though smarter.
9It was also Swift who made a modest proposal,
10About using Irish babies as food,
11wBecause there wasn’t any food in Great Britain,
12And never had been,
13Whereas there were a lot of Irish babies,
14Which the Brits all thought was ironic,
15And great,
16Though not as great as Shakespeare.
