Park on tar

Don't walk far

Buy a pet rock in a jar

And powdered lemon-a-ade.

Having shown no mercy, I expected none. I was not disappointed. This is the title Barry chose for me, lifted from his son's homework assignment:

An Examination of Freud's "Civilization and Its Discontents," Emphasizing How, in Surrendering His Freedom for the Conformity of Society, Man Has Sublimated His Natural Aggression but Replaced It With Existential Guilt and Neurosis (to the tune of "Yankee Doodle")

Oog the caveman liked to whack

His neighbors on the noo-dle,

And steal their skins and food

and girls --

The whole kit and caboodle.
