The Little Pentapede
The Little Pentapede went up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the bastard out!
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,
And there in the gutter were its broken remains!
Yankee Doodle
Yankee Doodle went to town
Upon a pentapede
But something that drinks your blood
Is not a very good steed.
Yankee Doodle, get some blood!
Get a fresh transfusion!
Pentapede venom works fast,
And causes some confusion!
"The true criterion of the practical, therefore, is not whether the latter can keep intact the wrong or foolish; rather is it whether the scheme has vitality enough to leave the stagnant waters of the old, and build, as well as sustain, new life." -- Emma Goldman
