They all laughed at angry young men
They all laughed at Edison, and also at Einstein
So why should I feel sorry if they just couldn't understand the idiomatic logic that went on in my head?
I had a brain
It was insane
Oh, they used to laugh at me when I refused to ride on all those double decker buses, all because there was no driver on the top

I love animal crackers, but I never get to enjoy them. It's always the same thing: I open the box and look inside.

The monkey is fine.

The camel is fine.

The hippo is fine.

But the seal? Not fine. And it says right on the package: "Do not eat if seal is broken."

Sigh
