PHAEDRUS WHERE ARE YOU NOW? WITH GREY LOCKS AND LUCID MINDSET WHICH THE CRADLE ROCKS, WE KNOW YOU, LISTEN TO YOUR TREATISE DREAM, WHICH CAN NOT BE MET BY NOTHING AS IT SEEM; PLATO MADE YOU CRAWL WITH TRUMPETS BLAZI NG, LEFT YOU SPEECHLESS, STARING, ONLY GAZING AT WHAT WAS NOT THERE, GONE LIKE A LOST SONG, NOUGHT WAS THE SAME SINCE YOU CAME ALONG, AN AGEING INCUBUS WITH LITTLE TO ACHIEVE, YOU WOULD HAVE US ALL JUST WANTING TO BELIEVE, THE SOPHISTS WERE ALWAYS RIGHT BUT YOU WERE WRONG, ABOUT THINKING, ABOUT LIVING, ABOUT ANYTHING; THE CLASS LEFT FOR THE DAY HAPPY AT DEPRESSION, THERE WAS NOTHING BETTER THAN LISTENING TO YOUR LESSON.

AS IT WAS BEFORE
PHAEDRUS WHERE ARE YOU NOW? WITH GREY LOCKS AND LUCID MINDSET WHICH THE CRADLE ROCKS, WE KNOW YOU, LISTEN TO YOUR TREATISE DREAM, WHICH CAN NOT BE MET BY NOTHING AS IT SEEM; PLATO MADE YOU CRAWL WITH TRUMPETS BLAZI NG, LEFT YOU SPEECHLESS, STARING, ONLY GAZING AT WHAT WAS NOT THERE, GONE LIKE A LOST SONG, NOUGHT WAS THE SAME SINCE YOU CAME ALONG, AN AGEING INCUBUS WITH LITTLE TO ACHIEVE, YOU WOULD HAVE US ALL JUST WANTING TO BELIEVE, THE SOPHISTS WERE ALWAYS RIGHT BUT YOU WERE WRONG, ABOUT THINKING, ABOUT LIVING, ABOUT ANYTHING; THE CLASS LEFT FOR THE DAY HAPPY AT DEPRESSION, THERE WAS NOTHING BETTER THAN LISTENING TO YOUR LESSON.
