capsalad (Dave Schulman):
The sentence you're paying is too high a price
Because you're living beyond your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
With the profit he's made on your dreams
And today you've just read
That the man was shot dead
With a gun that didn't make any noise
But the sound that you're hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
-- _The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys_

"Say, Pooh, why aren't YOU busy?" I said.
"Because it's a nice day," said Pooh.
"Yes, but---"
"Why ruin it?" he said.
"But you could be doing something Important," I said.
"I am," said Pooh.
"Oh? Doing what?"
"Listening," he said.
"Listening to what?"
"To the birds. And that squirrel over there."
"What are they saying?" I asked.
"That it's a nice day," said Pooh.
"But you knew that already," I said.
"Yes, but it's always good to hear that somebody else
thinks so, too," he replied.
"Well, you could be spending your time getting Educated by
listening to the Radio, instead," I said.
"That thing?"
"Certainly. How else will you know what's going on in the
world?" I said.
"By going outside," said Pooh.
"Er...well..." (Click) "Now just listen to this, Pooh."
"...thirty thousand people were killed today when five
jumbo airliners collided over downtown Los Angeles...," the
Radio announced.
"What does THAT tell you about the world?" asked Pooh.
"Hmmm. You're right." (Click)
"What are the birds saying now?" I asked.
"That it's a nice day," said Pooh.

epeisach (Ezra Peisach):
"He charged the ranks of the goblins of Mount Gram in the Battle of the
Green Fields, and knocked their king Golfimbul's head clean off with a
wooden club. It sailed a hundred yards through the air and went down a
rabbit-hole, and in this way the battle was won and the game of Golf
invented at the same moment."
-- "The Hobbit"
