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
