Fascinating and disturbing dream*

* I'll warn you this is a bit of a strange one.

Fascinating and disturbing dream

Imagine (if you will) this man

Who is a font of industry

He lives in a town called West

Located, as it was, in the West of North America

The Great Continent.

A great exponent of Manifest Destiny.

This town on the mountain prairie

Was a stagecoach town,

And boomed with the task of settling

The Great Continent

And making the Red man scarce.

He wrote,

"Imagine (if you will) this growing town

And the men and boys who come here

Employed in the mighty task of settling

The Great Continent

And fighting the Indians found there.

"Imagine now,

Lopping off the arms of

Ten Thousand men, and

Devising a machine so precise

It would articulate each one above the other

In a giant hand-clap.

"The clap of twenty-thousand hands

Would be a mighty thing of Industry."

This man was a great proponent

Of right nutrition, balanced meals,

And foods high in vitamins.

He himself died quite rich

At the age of eighty.
