-- by Horatio Algeranon
Why should I
Give to Posterity?
What has she
Ever done for me?
Posterity is always
Procrastinating
Says "Tomorrow"
She'll be waiting
To give me riches
And her charms
Keep me from
The Future's harms
But I'm quite sure
She won't deliver
Never does
So don't believe her.
H/T Sir Boyled Roche, Groucho Marx, Winston Churchill or whoever it was that said "Why should I do anything for posterity? What has posterity ever done for me?"
