    Damn you, King George! You don't have Divine Right, and we're not serfs!

    I believe it is necessary to throw in a little Monty Python at this point:

    Oliver Cromwell

    The most interesting thing about King Charles the First
    Is that he was 5 foot 6 inches tall at the start of his reign
    But only 4 foot 8 inches tall at the end of it because of
    Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England Puritan
    Born in 1599 and died in 1658 September

    Was at first only MP for Huntingdon, but then he led the Ironside Cavalry
    At Marston Moor in 1644 and won then he founded the New Model Army
    And praise be, beat the Cavaliers at Naseby and the King fled up North
    Like a bat to the Scots

    But under the terms of John Pym's Solemn League and Covenant
    The Scots handed King Charles the first, over to
    Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England and his warts
    Born in 1599 and died in 1658 September

    But alas, oy vay! The disagreement then broke out between
    The Presbyterian Parliament and the Military who meant
    To have an independent bent and so the 2nd Civil War broke out
    And the Roundhead ranks faced the Cavaliers at Preston Banks
    And the King lost again, silly thing, stupid Git

    And Cromwell sent Colonel Pride to purge the House of Commons
    Of the Presbyterian Royalists leaving behind only the rump Parliament
    Which appointed a High Court at Westminster Hall to indict
    Charles, the first for tyranny, ooh! Charles was sentenced to death
    Even though he refused to accept that the court had jurisdiction
    Say goodbye to his head

    Poor King Charles laid his head on the block
    January 1649, down came the axe and in the silence that followed
    The only sound that could be heard was a solitary giggle from
    Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England, ole
    Born in 1599 and died in 1658 September

    Then he smashed Ireland, set up the Commonwealth and more
    He crushed the Scots at Worcester and beat the Dutch at sea in 1653
    And then he dissolved the rump Parliament
    And with Lambert's consent wrote the instrument of Government
    Under which Oliver was Protector at last

    The End
    "And your little sister's immaculate virginity wings away on the bony shoulders of a young horse named George who stole surreptitiously into her geography revision."

    A-one, two, a-one two three four


    Half a bee, philosophically,
    Must, ipso facto, half not be.
    But half the bee has got to be
    Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see?

    But can a bee be said to be
    Or not to be an entire bee
    When half the bee is not a bee
    Due to some ancient injury?
    -singing

    La dee dee, one two three,
    Eric the half a bee.
    A B C D E F G,
    Eric the half a bee.

    Is this wretched demi-bee,
    Half-asleep upon my knee,
    Some freak from a menagerie?
    No! It's Eric the half a bee!

    Fiddle de dum, Fiddle de dee,
    Eric the half a bee.
    Ho ho ho, tee hee hee,
    Eric the half a bee.

    I love this hive, employee-ee,
    Bisected accidentally,
    One summer afternoon by me,
    I love him carnally.

    He loves him carnally,
    Semi-carnally.

    The End

    Cyril Connolly?


    No, semi-carnally

    Oh

    Well, as long as we're at it...

    >ahem<

    In a bad Ozzie accent, if you please...

    Eeeeeemmanuel Kant was a real pissant
    who was very rarely stible;
    Hoydegger, hoydegger, was a boozy begger
    who could drink you under the tible.
    David Yume could out-consume
    Schoppenour and Aygel,
    And Wittgenstoyn was a beery swoyn
    Who was just as schlossed as Schlegel.

    Air's nuffin Neetzsche couldn't teach ye
    bout the raisin o'the wrist.
    Socrates imself was parmanently pissed...

    John Stoort Mill, of is own free will,
    On a alf-a-poynt o'shandy was particularly ill,
    Plato, they say, could stick it away,
    Alf a crate o'whiskey evry day,
    Aristotle, Aristotle, was a begger for the bottle,
    Obbes was fond of is dram,
    And Renay Daycaat was a drunken faat,
    "I drink therefore I am."

    Socrates imself is particularly missed -
    A luvvly little finker but a bugger when e's pissed.
    Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

    A miser, who lived in Nantucket,
    Kept all of his wealth in a bucket.
    His daughter, named Nan,
    Ran off with a man.
    And as for the bucket? Nan tuck it.
