Those who can peck,
peck.

Those who can’t peck,
teach pecking.

Those who can’t teach pecking,
administer the teaching of pecking.

Those who can’t administer the teaching of pecking,
regulate the administration of the teaching of pecking.

Those who can’t regulate the administration of the teaching of pecking,
advocate at the bar, for or against the regulation of the administration
of the teaching of pecking.

Those who can’t advocate at the bar, for or against the
regulation of the administration of the teaching of pecking,
legislate about advocating for or against the regulation of the
administration of the teaching of pecking.

And this whole house of cards, legislation about advocating for
or against the regulation of the administration of the teaching of pecking,
is all paid for only by those who can and do peck :

Noting the fat of the cat at the tip of the top –
(or indeed the flats of the cats at the tops of the tips) –
declining to support further, such unedifying edifices –

their resources taxed beyond endurance –
failing to keep their peckers up –
drooping –
wilting –
they simply cease to
peck.

I thought the previous post was so beautifully cruel and well written that it would take you some time to equal it. I was wrong again.

Brownian Motions is right – a quite wonderful pair of posts

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you.

Also – those at the top see only shit when they look down; those at the bottom, when they look up, see only arseholes.

…and of course CallMeDave is going to sweep away the whole pecking structure and allow the peckers to peck freely once again. I’m still hoping, with fingers crossed, that this is what will happen, but its not looking good so far.

One key stage omitted:

Those who can’t teach pecking
teach the teaching of pecking.

Hi,

I regret to say that in politics today that it is not just that a disproportionate percentage seem only to wish to play with each others peckers but the fact that they expect us to pay for their peculiar and perverse pecherdildos!

regards,
