A musical interlude.
Oct. 9th, 2009 11:07 amI've been reading Thucydides' History of the Peleponnesian War. It appears to have done something to my brain.
Thucy-didy-doo, where are you?
We got some work to do now.
Thucy-didy-doo, where are you?
We need some help from you now.
Come on Thucy-doo, I see you
Pretending to quote Cleon
But you're not fooling me,
Cause I can see,
You wrote Pericles' paean.
Well, You know we got hist'ry to compose
As Athens and Sparta have come to blows.
On Pylos!
And Thucy-doo if Amphipolis falls
You're going to have twenty years in exile!
That's a while!
Thucy-didy-doo, here are you.
And all the Greeks are fightin'.
If we can count on you, Thucy Doo,
You'd best get to some writin'.
Thucy-didy-doo, where are you?
We got some work to do now.
Thucy-didy-doo, where are you?
We need some help from you now.
Come on Thucy-doo, I see you
