History again

History is a Miserable Joke

History is a miserable

joke told by a

man with a monocle

and an impaired ear

who believes history.

But even the autodidact

knows history

doesn’t happen—

it is invented to make

you feel as miserable as possible.

Remember this the next

time you shop

in produce for lettuce that

is fresh and

free of dogma.

You’ll be elated to find

something good to eat.

You’ll be saddened by the

assassination of broccoli.
