Jonathan Swift Satire On Feuding Times

Earlier I tried to post Jonathan Swift’s satire on feuds resulting in wars; the most famous of which occurred in his Gulliver’s travels concerning Lilliputians egg cracking.
Satire of the feud between the Roman Catholic Church & the Church of England
could be applied today on the “war” in The Ukraine.

Or, can be applied to the stupidity of: the all white hats vs, the all black hats; w/no grey zones -
that exist in todays ideologues, all over hell’s green acres.

Its too late for ol’ Humpty. All the kings horses and men couldn’t put him back together again, remember? Now if they had a sample of his dna, I’m sure they could. Might need a pig embryo though. :wink:
