Renaissance Man
To be a renaissance man
Specifically, this requires you to look at life holistically
A polymath grafts to view no graph in isolation
A zoologist philosopher like Kropotkin in northern Asia
Yearning to master botany like Thomas Jefferson
To be Copernicus or Francis Bacon
Roaming home like Noam, who
In one perfectly formed sentence could subdue
Both Ahmadinejad and Netanyahu
People can surprise you
Clark Carlisle’s had a gem or two
Or take Hugh Grant, he always plays such a flake
Rabada, rabada, I’m terribly sorry but rabada rabada
So when did he become so goddamn eloquent?
Where the hell did that come from?
A carpenter politician gone fishin’
Like the son of the deity, who couldn’t eat meat on one day a week
Piety unlikely, nor did Pontius Pilate inspire me
But even Jesus was a politician
They needed someone to stand up to the Romans
And he decided to do it
Son.

Not quite accurate but perhaps that is what poetic licence is all about.
Noam is an ass of idiocy who wants the world to conform to a norm that if it ever happens will destroy itself and everything else with it.Jesus did not come to stand up to the Romans.
He said render to Caesar what is Caesar’s. He was simply not into politics:Luke12:
And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. -

And the fish on friday thing is pure Catholic monastic control freakery. It’s worth having a look at what was considered sufficiently “fish” to be eaten on Freya’s and fast days.
