#not be fighting for the government for access to the health insurance I've paid into my entire working life

[littlestickfish]

I had a dream that I had found another Mark Twain song like the New Battle Hymn of the Republic

But it was written in vegetable pizza--all my favorite vegetables, mind--and I was trying to eat it... but it wouldn't all fit on my fork. And I said to my mom, "If I had to rate this song on a scale of Fuck You, 1-10, it would get an 11." And I think I was probably right

And then I tried to remember the words to the New Battle Hymn of the Republic, but I can only remember the first and the last

Mine eyes have seen the orgy of the launching of the sword

He is searching out the hidings where the strangers' wealth is stored

He has loosed his doomful lightning and with woe and death has scored

His lust is marching on /

I have read his bandit gospel writ in burnished rows of steel

As ye deal with my pretensions so with you my wrath shall deal

Let the faithless son of freedom crush the patriot with his heel

Our God is marching on!

I used to know all four verses. I used to sing them in my 20s while I was doing yard work, back in my 20s when I could still do yard work. That seems... like another life, now. In a way that makes the world tonight feel like the unfinished dream, not what I just saw

Anyway

Happy July ig
