David has written several Thribbing pieces in the past.

Lines on the Death of Chairman Mao

So.
Farewell then
Chairman Mao.

You are the
Last of the
Great revolutionary

Figures. You
And I
Had little in

Except that

You were a poet.

Though how you
Found time…

It seems the high horse has become a bad horse. With an evil death whinny and a chorus of beer-drinking cowboys.

You really think Winston can be compared to the Thoroughbred of Sin? I suppose he does rule the party with an iron hoof.

Shall I be the one that stands up for Winnie? He has always made me think of an 8 year old as a lawyer with his pedantic use of the disingenuous. Kinda cute, kinda funny, kinda needs a slap upside the head.

Steve! Slapping kids upside the head is not…

Did anyone else observe the moment on Morning Report today, where W Peters, cornered, almost began to squeak... I'm not sure I've ever heard it before. Satisfying and excruciating, all at once.
