“Pans Syrinx was a girl indeed,
Though now shes turned into a reed;

A pipe that strikes Apollo dumb;
Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can
So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;”

In every way you may please yourself;
But please please me in the kitchen chimney:
Dont build me a chimney upon a shelf.”

From the tower, and to show Im not mad:
I only slipped on the cake of soap of the air
And drowned in the bathtub of the world....”
