Come let us mock at the greatThat had such burdens on the mindAnd toiled so hard and lateTo leave some monument behind,Nor thought of the levelling wind.
Come let us mock at the wise;With all those calendars whereonThey fixed old aching eyes,They never saw how seasons run,And now but gape at the sun.
Come let us mock at the goodThat fancied goodness might be gay,And sick of solitudeMight proclaim a holiday:Wind shrieked — and where are they?
Mock mockers after thatThat would not lift a hand maybeTo help good, wise or greatTo bar that foul storm out, for weTraffic in mockery.—William Butler Yeats
Two hootenannys of hooey. Good one. At any rate, Bill and Opus are imitating the campaign slogan of an unnamed bug that ran for President in the Pogo comic strip in 1964. In the bug’s case it was even simpler; all he said was “Jes’ fine.” Stay tuned for some big laughs when the Donald vs. Hillary debates start.
