Then I stripped them, scalp from skull, and my hunting-dogs fed full,
And their teeth I threaded neatly on a thong;
And I wiped my mouth and said, "It is well that they are dead,
For I know my work is right and theirs was wrong."

But my Totem saw the shame; from his ridgepole-shrine he came,
And he told me in a vision of the night: -
"There are nine and sixty ways of constructing tribal lays,
"And every single one of them is right!"

Do you like Kipling? I dunno, I never kipled

To: Doctor Stochastic

my wife and children hate me
Jane Fonda wants to rape me
because I make my livin'
by killin' tha baby seals

I catch an' club an' kill 'em
I skin an' gut an' grill 'em
so's I can make my livin'
by killin' tha baby seals

Oh I love to eat them baby seals,
they're tasty and so tender!
I skin their hides so pearly-white
and sell 'em through a vendor!
and tho' my trade is banned by law,
the seals have no defender!
'Cuz I love to make my livin'
by killin' tha baby seals!
