The Advent of Our Discontent
-As Shakespeare did not say
Everyone accuses everyone
else
Of treason; they’d call
each other Quislings
If they had any history,
but they don’t
Only Hochhuth and Unferth
on the air
But you and I have wood to
split and stack
The garden to level and
put to sleep
Cows to get up for the
milking at dusk
And in the evening, a cozy
fire to watch
Oh, listen to the
migrating geese, up high!
Unlike us humans, they
never learned to lie
