The cat takes the mouse

Fritz Hamilton

    The cat takes the mouse/ the dog takes the cat/ the boy takes the cake & eats it too.
    “U can’t take the cake & eat it too, Fred.”
    “But I can & have, Jesoo.”
    “Why can’t U give me a bite?”
    “What’s the sense? U’re going to be crucified whether yr stomach is full or empty.”
    “I just don’t want to be crucified on an empty stomach.”
    “Why?”
    “What difference does it make to U? I’d just feel better on the cross with a little cake in me. When the anthropologists find me in a thousand yrs or so, they’ll be fascinated to find traces of cake in my bones.”
    “They’ll be fascinated to find yr bones with or without traces of cake.”
    “But just think how this’ll blast the nonsense of ‘U can’t have yr cake & eat it too’. This’ll make an ass out of that conventional wisdom.”
    “But why care?”
    “It’ll be another historical correction. They’re made all the time. We now know that George didn’t cut down a cherry tree.”
    “We don’t know that for sure.”
    “We have never found the remains of a chopped down cherry tree.”
    “We’ve never found the bones of Jesoo either.”
    “Do U think Jesoo cut down the cherry tree?”
    “I think that’s the pits.”
