This Is Not...This Is...(TIN/TI #7)

________________________________________________________________________________________________


















          ⬆ 
THIS IS NOT  from Jonathon Swift


         THIS IS  obviously from  Mr. Swift 
    ⬇              



 





The Peetnik Literary
Salon unanimously 
agrees that the 
upper quote
is from
Ernest 
Hemingway's
best short story.

As for the author ➞
of  Gulliver's Travels,
the man who is known as  
The Godfather of Satire  also wrote 
suggested a cure for population control.*

Footnotes
The GodFather of these pages is partial to the original prayer that Hemingway mimicked.

The OUR FATHER is exactly one half of my daily mantra.

The other half is the HAIL MARY.

Presently, the second half of the mantra will result
in a satisfying conclusion  to the Mary Pickford pages.

If Jonathon Swift's  A Modest Proposal  does not make you laugh,
see a doctor as soon as possible.

This page is dedicated to the memory of my cousin, Richard Kampe.

The images are from Jay Pegg and Jayne Pegg, respectively.

I am not a name-dropper. I do not drop names.
I smash them against the wall and watch the shards sparkle.

      The striking through of the word wrote
      was merely poetic license on my part.

      The situation in Ireland at the time was dire.
      In 1729, Dublin-born Swift suggested
      a solution to the overpopulated,
      impoverished slums.

      The full title of his essay was
      A Modest Proposal for Preventing the
      Children of Poor People From Being
      a Burthen to Their Parents or Country,
      and for Making Them Beneficial
      to the Publick
