a lot happier nowadays

Darling!

you think our ancestors have lived a happier life

                        with no technology, stress or strife?

But wouldn’t Avicenna be a much happier physician

            if his tools weren’t so fustian

                        and he didn’t have to wrap a lot of corpses in fustian?

And wouldn’t Hélène Campbell’s life be a bit bitter

with no facebook, youtube and twitter

            to spread her amazing face and become a hitter?

so let’s talk about it later again

once I registered to donate organ …

and we’re safely walking down Carling.
