Challenge: The Perfect Ten (v2.0)

[Tzara]

(do hyphenated words count as one?)

Being-in-the-world
..........has only one referent,
...though meanings, legion.

broken crockery,
..........littered smooth as pebbles
....................on a carpet beach

Being-in-the-world
..........has only one referent,
...though meanings, legion.

this
only
served
to
bring
to
mind

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, [some versions have 'Schopenhauer and Hegel']

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whisky every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,

And René Descartes was a drunken fart.
'I drink, therefore I am.'

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed.​

Here, you can hear it.

Surely this is more than ten words?



Though also readworthy, and intelligent, though a bit aggressive about things. I mean, did you flunk PHIL 101, or something? Or pass it straight A?

You Canuckians always confuse me, despite your uncountrified attractiveness.

Gosh darn it.

Entropy still far off.

Leave confessions
under the sycamore.
Hungrily I collect
its leaves.

Walk into fate.

...on next year's line.

She longed for him,
but alas, was dashed
by her.

The sky poured
exclamation marks
spread them at my feet
