Fred's aim is to teach us to pass from a piece of disguised nonsense to something that is patent nonsense

It was meant as a compliment, Fred

I like Wittgenstein - patent nonsense makes philosophical theories appear reasonable. I suppose I bridged my delighted amusement at your poem in a nonsensical way.

I thought so, thanks, i was trying to tell myself to shut up cuz i know nothing of wit and wisdom...........using wittgenstein as my foil to myself........i like oscar wilde's idea that as critics we can say how we feel and that's about it.............thanks again, fred
