Yeah, so what I was sitting on the wall. It was mine, and a great wall it was. Peasants walked by and envied my crevasse, they mistook it for a belt, I had to constantly correct them. I got in such a squabble with one of the villagers, I leaned forward to give him the what for, and I'll be ****** if I didn't tumble off and smash into thousands of pieces. Because I'm so important, the Kings men and beasts were quickly dispatched, and the incompetent fools could not fix me. So I lie here, yolk and shell everywhere, yet I continue to think and reason, no heaven, no hell.Β Β This wretched life continues, I watch the **** walk through me, I hear their uneducated banter and it infuriates me... I've read all the great philosophers, yet; nothing has prepared me for this. And what the hell does, "pride goeth before the fall." mean anyway.
