The Gandhi Bit...

2006 NB

This is the bit which caused so much controversey in my very small world around the time this diary was being written, it's very silly:

Gandhi once said “an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind”.

Actually it’d leave one bloke, with one eye, left over

And everyone concerned would be annoyed.

So perhaps Gandhi should have said:

“An eye for an eye leaves the whole world, annoyed

and most people entirely blind..

Apart from one bloke who’d have one eye”.

Add to that another quote:

“In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.”

So perhaps Gandi should have said:

“An eye for an eye leaves the whole world, annoyed

and most people entirely blind

Apart from one bloke whose got one eye, and he’s the king.”

If I was him I imagine I wouldn’t bother wearing a crown.

You’d only be wearing it for your own benefit.

You’d feel a bit silly.

Another famous quote.

“Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely”

So perhaps Gandhi should have said:

“An eye for an eye leaves the whole world annoyed

and most people entirely blind,

Apart from one bloke whose got one eye,

And he’s their corrupt king

Who probably doesn’t bother wearing a crown..

No point really.. messes up his hair”

I told all this to a mate of mine and he said..

Here’s another saying for you Nick: “No one likes a smart arse”

That’s true I took it on the chin.

So perhaps Gandhi should have said..

Ah- Nothing at all.

Saves a lot of confusion.
