Nietzsche Declared

Nietzsche declared
(when he asked for his supper)
'' I'm famished 
and that is a fact.''
His landlady retorted:
''Until the rent's sorted,
you'll have to make do
with an interpretation
of stew
or you-
can get yourself packed!''

How to bring someone down to earth in one foul swoop, and what a victim ! Great how the indomitable woman deals the blow.

Happy Xmas Tommy.
