Looking at life

In the sixties,
And seventies,
I used to love,
Kissing the girls,
But I don't kiss them now.

Do you honestly think,
I'd kiss a girl,
Who had just,
Given somebody,
A blow job?

My, my,
Private Eye,
For a mental feed,
You this mag should read,
As it does flirt,
With all the dirt,
And here the underneath is seen,
Much of it unclean.

To what's hidden, a Tannoy,
Private Eye I do enjoy.

You will be on in Paradise a street,
When the rose which smells so sweet,
Does your spirit elevate,
To of grace a state.

Blair always did right noises make,
When he did his image fake,
And him many did believe,
Though now they for their folly grieve.

But though right noises he makes too,
Many oft to Brown say "Phoo!",
So if there's before long no other song,
Voters all may sing "So long.".

Someone to confusion disentangle,
Schrodinger's cat should strangle,
For doesn't science whine,
By saying at the same time,
The cat's both alive and dead,
In its box inside the shed?

Confusion,
Delusion,
Scientists think themselves sublime,
So say that all the time,
They an answer do possess,
So none dare say brainless.

But it to all is clear,
Time is linear,
So when you the problem take to task,
And the question ask,
Is it the cat alive or dead?
You must to truth be wed.

"I at this time don't know."
Is the way to go,
For if truth would thrive,
It must be either dead or alive,
As there's no time machine,
Which boring facts can come between.

We don't know, we don't know,
To the song there is a flow,
And time being like an arrow,
We sense can't disallow,
Though not wanting to seem hollow,
Scientists invent an undertow.

The government, of truth conductors,
To the DSS gave lie-detectors,
As they can cause disruption,
To whose who’d gain money by deception,
For cheats they must be stopped,
And by their lies be chopped.

But there should be no exception,
So obtaining votes by deception,
Is every bit as bad,
So they should lies expose the cad,
Then voters can in confidence,
Vote upon the evidence.

So to journalists the government should give,
Lie detectors; investigative,
So all will write the best,
When they politicians test,
As then none will tell a lie,
If they in the polls don’t want to die.

There should as well be no exclusion,
With ministers on television,
And on the screen a big red dot,
Would eliminate the rot,
As when the computer did a lie suspect,
The flashing dot would have effect.

For if someone does a vote desire,
A lie test voters should require,
On everything the hopefuls say,
When down their plans they lay,
As then all voters can be sure,
Westminster hearts are pure.

You  cannot  hope,
To bribe or twist,
Thank  God!
The British journalist.
But, seeing what the man  will  do unbribed,
There is no occasion to.

(Humbert Wolfe.)

Knowledge like a tide does flow and ebb,
And Nassim Nicholas Taleb,
The Black Swan did write,
Which to my mind is right,
As it did many cobwebs clear,
With information I hold dear.

He also wrote Fooled By Randomness,
In which he does many myths undress,
And I also think this book is bliss,
So another not to miss,
Though it many might ignore,
And say it is a bore.

But if a thought,
Counts for more than nought,
I will say,
And even odds willl lay,
That as time through calendars does run,
These classics will become.
