25 March 2002 - before a fall

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

The Common Thread in All Sudden Scandals
(cf. Enron, Georgia crematorium, Catholic pedophile priests, etc.)

Hang your head up on the wall:
Summer goes before a fall.
All that growth is lush as Eden,
And you’re packing up for Sweden
To collect your Nobel Prize...
When they recognize your lies.
Tripping goes before a fall:
No one’s always on the ball.
