11 Nov 04 - 12:38 PM (#1323406) Subject: RE: BS: World has ended - unconfirmed at moment. From: Dave Bryant If only I'd known about it earlier, I could have said to prettiest woman at hand, "Quick let's have sex, the world's about to end". There is this lovely poem by Roger McGough on the subject: At Lunchtime When the bus stopped suddenly To avoid damaging A mother and child in the road The young lady in the green hat sitting opposite Was thrown across me And not being one to miss an opportunity I started to make love At first, she resisted Saying that it was too early in the morning And too soon after breakfast And anyway, she found me repulsive But when I explained That this being a nuclear age The world was going to end at lunchtime She took off her green hat Put her bus ticket into her pocket And joined in the exercise The bus people And there were many of them Were shocked and surprised And amused and annoyed But when word got around That the world was going to end at lunchtime They put their pride in their pockets With their bus tickets And made love one with the other And even the bus conductor Feeling left out Climbed into the cab And struck up some sort of relationship with the driver That night On the bus coming home We were all a little embarrassed Especially me and the young lady in the green hat And we all started to say In different ways How hasty and foolish we had been But then, always having been a bit of a lad I stood up and said it was a pity That the world didn't nearly end every lunchtime And that we could always pretend And then it happened Quick as a crash We all changed partners And soon the bus was aquiver With white, mothball bodies doing naughty things And the next day And every day In every bus In every street In every town In every country People pretended That the world was coming to an end at lunchtime It still hasn't Although in a way it has |

11 Nov 04 - 04:35 PM (#1323767) Subject: RE: BS: World has ended - unconfirmed at moment. From: Little Hawk Good article, dianavan. And essentially correct, I think. Kerry would have carried on much the same policy as Bush, but his election would have lulled people into a false sense of security for awhile, imagining that things were about to change for the better. It is in fact of more benefit that the real facts of the matter, which are dire, should not be camouflaged by merely "changing the curtains" on the White House. Progressive forces can rally more effectively against George Bush than would have been the case against John Kerry, because they already know who George Bush is. |
