Platonic is quite moronic
As our nature is hedonic
For every lure
God grants a cure
My mum says its gin and tonic

Did you know Yersinia pestis first attacked humans via fleas, migrated to rats, then mutated into droplets sneezed human-to-human when there was no tonic, no gin? Stay tuned! Aloha! Rico
