...And Another Thing...: On The Contrary

     it's almost always wrong.
 
April's not the cru'lest month.
(That's gotta be December.)

"To be or not to be...?" 
That's not the question, folks have found,
while I believe that ev'ry man's an island,
pound for pound.

Despite your smiles, I don't have miles to go 
before I sleep.
And a thing of beauty's not a joy forever --
read 'n' weep!
Nor is hope a thing with feathers.

No: the world's not too much with us.
Yes: life is an empty dream.
