    I found it funny.

    History repeats itself.
    Has to.

    My view is that There is always an element of fun - no matter the situation - I recall Frankie Boyles comments on pornhunbs decision to give their Prime service to the citizens of Northen Italy - ".. know you know what the toilet paper was for. "

    In days of old
    When Knights were bold,
    And paper was not invented.

    They'd wipe their ass
    With bits of grass,
    Which left them freshly scented.

    Contagion
    Elephants are contagious!
    Be careful how you tread.
    An Elephant that's been trodden on
    Should be confined to bed!

    Leopards are contagious too.
    Be careful tiny tots.
    They don't give you a temperature
    But lots and lots - of spots.

    The Herring is a lucky fish
    From all disease inured.
    Should he be ill when caught at sea;
    Immediately - he's cured!

    started a topic Friday Poetry Corner

    Friday Poetry Corner

    Ladies and gentlemen, you have made most remarkable

    Progress, and progress, I agree, is a boon;
    You have built more automobiles than are parkable,


    Crashed the sound-barrier, and may very soon
    Be setting up cafes on the Moon:

    But I beg to remind you that, despite all that,
    I, Death, still am and will always be Cosmocrat.

    Still I sport with the young and daring; at my whim,assign a nasty cough and fever

    With others I wait until they are older
    Before assigning, according to my humor,
    To one a coronary, to one a tumor.

    Liberal my views upon religion and race;
    Tax-posture, credit-rating, social ambition
    Cut no ice with me.

    We shall meet face to face

    Despite the drugs and lies of your physician,
    The costly euphenisms of the mortician:
    Glasgow Busker and London Banker

    Both shall dance with me when I rattle my drum.”

    WH Auden
