Yeah, society is going to the dogs innit, and you've got a scatter-gun
loaded with grape-shot. You left out AIDs, homosexuality, feminism,
atheism, pestilence, famine and civil war. Wow, look: the 4 horsemen

Really, stick to writing poetry; that's where you're really good, and
I do mean good. And generous too, even if sometimes the polemics get
in the way. Outside of that, you're rather funny in an unintentional
way.
