The funny ideas of Plato
Chapter 20
qFor example, Plato thought that all apes should be free,
2rExcept slaves,
3sAnd not including women,
4Which meant that apes should govern themselves,
5And make up their own laws,
6And vote about things,
7Which is called democracy,
8tMeaning rule by apes.
9The Greeks even tried democracy,
10uWhich explains why they stopped being Chosen,
11vAnd got conquered by the Romans,
12But not before they had thought up their biggest joke of all,
13Which is the Greek invention called history.
