It's like how fags are apt to write poetry; they had nothing else to offer the world.

Oral traditions transcribed and reasonably preserved. Like everywhere else.

Socrates
You need to suck deez
Did you say somethin, or was it a sneeze?
I do think can tell, you fat ball of grease
Maybe I oughta bust you in da teef

Lived yo whole like in regret
PreSocratic? How bout post-Socratic
Anything better than you automatic
