Title: No Man is an Island
Post by sprintcyclist on Oct 23rd, 2008 at 9:45pm

No man is an island
 

 No man is an island entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were,
as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were;
any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

John Donne

But there is an Isle of a Man


triskelion manx

Well the Isle of Man woman fancied Whack
But your man stood there till his heads came back
And whack they all whacked into Whack
Poor Whack was landed on his back
The Douglas force arrived as well
Landed a couple of belts as well
Ended up in the Douglas jail
Until the Dublin boat did sail
Deported every man

All around a pig's arse is pork, entire of itself;
every ham is a piece of the swine, a part of the main;
if a hoof be cut away by a butcher’s knife, the pig is the less,
as well as if a whole leg were,
as well as any manner of its teets or swine gonads were;
any pig’s death diminishes me, because I feel sorry for the hog
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;

it tolls...

for the pig.
