Hilarious, Chris!

("Anecdote of the Jar" by Wallace Stevens)

I placed a war in Tennessee,
The Spanish Civil War,
A small mistake, it seemed to me.
We had one there in '63
(Or '84 or '70).
My teacher, she got sore.

Heck, what's the use of history
If nobody can disagree
With all them crummy powers-that-be?
Let's make our own minds up, be free!
I much prefer Democracy
To studying some more.
