Boolos says eliminate the random
I say lend me your gun
If-and-only-if statements are faulty
And this just became less fun
I don’t know the difference
Between ja and da
My head is on the line
Let’s pause for vichyssoise
Knights and knaves must understand
The question that you ask
And answer “themfully”, the question at hand
And keep you on your task
And you must be able to comprehend
What it is that you’re asking
To make their answers worth a ****
And keep you from the offing
The logician’s straight-jacket
The turn of the *****
And what about time, does that play-in too?
(The time to process what to do?)
What would D say if I asked
How G would answer me
Whether F is happy "if-and-only-if"
It’s obeyed and it’s free
Well it’s all a bit of *******
It’s wordplay and it’s noise
These tortured, bent, crafty, minds
Have dark, insidious toys
