The martial ones, the fraudulent
compelled that we Be Not Content**
but hope of Love soon turned to War;
our Woodstock burned to Altamont.


*quote from Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey:
“But a system made secure by the protective plating of humor and pretense
always runs the risk of having its protection get out of hand. A relationship
based on jokes invites jokes; jokes about anything -- and jokes about
anything are now and then bound to cut too close to the truth.”

"I figured if acid had gotten me into it, then acid would get me out of it."

That's pretty cool Ray. I am obsessed with the psychedelic. 'One flew over the Cuckoos Nest' is one of my favorite novels. Looks like bena broke our Lysergic Acid Diethylamide thread!

(I wanted to word salad for a bit. I think Ray and I were posting at nearly the same time. Left mine open for a bit because I wanted to add another line. But you dear....YOU seriously broke the spell....lol)

Just a note, not an entry:

Your obsession will not be complete without reading "Be Not Content" by William Craddock. It's just gotten back into print so you have no excuse.

(Letting them get stale is a sin! I make them savory with some seasalt and chili powder.)

My wittle arachnids wove them!

Wittle Miss Muffin had lice in her uffen;
They itching, she scratching, all day.
When awong came a spider, who sat down inside her;
and dined on her tasty buffet.
