Someone could volunteer to eat it and . . . ew, nevermind.
My vote: Goalie on the Russkie World Cup Soccer Team. He would stop the low shots.
Step right up folks. Three balls and three balls only. Hit the bullseye and Dunk the Commie. Win a big prize for that lady in your life. Step right up, folks...
I'm sure that the Clinton Library would love to have it. They could set up a little shrine for Lenin, Bill's hero, complete with little signs informing the visitors that he was done in by the politics of personal destruction...
"Social experiment"???? Is that what they call slaughter now?
I'd like to see him left where he is for all eternity as a reminder to what was. Moving him allows for the white washing of history to begin.
I don't care who he was....you just don't leave dead people lyin' around, especially when they are sprouting fungus...it's really just kinda gross
I'm terrible when it comes to poetry. I did like Shel Silverstein's works. I've never heard of "Hell in Texas", though.
Catapult his corpse into a Siberian swamp
I'm reminded of a old school rythme... "Don't worry about the body, we'll flush it down the potty..."
HELL IN TEXAS
Oh, the Devil in hell they say he was chained,
And there for a thousand years he remained;
He neither complained nor did he groan,
But decided he'd start up a hell of his own,
Where he could torment the souls of men
Without being shut in a prison pen;
So he asked the Lord if He had any sand
Left over from making this great land.
The Lord He said, "Yes, I have plenty on hand,
But it's away down south on the Rio Grande,
And, to tell you the truth, the stuff is so poor
I doubt if 'twill do for hell any more."
The Devil went down and looked over the truck,
And he said if it came as a gift he was stuck,
For when he'd examined it carefully and well
He decided the place was too dry for a hell.
But the Lord just to get the stuff off His hands
He promised the Devil He'd water the land,
For he had some old water that was of no use,
A regular bog hole that stunk like the deuce.
So the grant it was made and the deed it was given;
The Lord He returned to His place up in heaven.
The Devil soon saw he had everything needed
To make up a hell and so he proceeded.
He scattered tarantulas over the roads,
Put thorns on the cactus and horns on the toads,
He sprinkled the sands with millions of ants
So the man that sits down must wear soles on his pants.
He lengthened the horns of the Texas steer,
And added an inch to the jack rabbit's ear;
He put water puppies in all of the lakes,
And under the rocks he put rattlesnakes.
He hung thorns and brambles on all of the trees,
He mixed up the dust with jiggers and fleas;
The rattlesnake bites you, the scorpion stings,
The mosquito delights you by buzzing his wings.
The heat in the summer's a hundred and ten,
Too hot for the Devil and too hot for men;
And all who remained in that climate soon bore
Cuts, bites, stings, and scratches, and blisters galore.
He quickened the buck of the bronco steed,
And poisoned the feet of the centipede;
The wild boar roams in the black chaparral
It's a hell of a place that we've got for a hell.
He planted red pepper beside of the brooks;
The Mexicans use them in all that they cook.
Just dine with a Greaser and then you will shout,
"I've hell on the inside as well as the out! "
Please tell me you're joking.
What's physical, by thermodynamics, should rot. God only knows the other.
That's what they said. I don't know what would cause it.
btt
Lol, that's great! It almost reminds me of Charlie Daniels : )
Thank you for finding that : )
That is truly bizarre, but chromatically appropriate, as you said.
And thus totalitarianism, not just for his country but the entire world.
A couple of suggestions:
1. Move him to the Harvard Yard.
2. Stand him next to John Kerry and see who smiles first.
Just saw it this past May.
