Do you enjoy Kipling? "IF"-----

[Atticus]

IF you can comb and dye your hair
An orange quite extraordinaire
IF pictures of your wife quite bare
Don't bother you 'cause you don't care

IF kids in cages seem okay
Or you can golf while children die
Or abandon those who just won't play
Your game or parrot your Big Lie

IF you can talk with crowds and feed 'em bullshit
Or sleep with porn stars while your wife's alone
IF your response to problems is to pull shit
'Cause the that's the only talent that you own

IF you can pass each fleeting hour and day
Thinking up new ways to tell a lie
Your name is one no one will ever say
You'll be known as just "that goddam former guy"!

Clever adaptation (and I like about all of your posts, Atticus, and admire your energy and thoughts).

Kim was one of my favorite books as a child.
