scientists never got on with grammar, having decided explosions and

To us sentences were meaningless enough, probably some sort of mating
talk we would eventually have to learn to predicate ourselves with
subjects of the wider form of life we hoped to sleep with whilst
awake. Someone forgot to tell Shakespeare we prefer quiet and thus
one has to put up with a lot of noise before the rest belatedly
acknowledged and consigned to silence by the copy-scribe Wittgenstein
whilst in traction.
What is the decision of the cut-off thumb rigs? The one next to one
hand clapping. What fuggy muggy logic behind the pub door lures from
the temptation of an affair with Karenina otherwise a necessity in not
getting out enough? Translation bitter gnädiges Fräulein lest I lapse
to that most logically structured modern language eliminating space
grammar of verylongwordsruntogether and verbs inconveniently placed so
that one after the event what's going on knows. Or assume I have gone
mad reading Goethe during an opera by Wagner. There is no difference
without differance I was told, French cafe with poor folk music poor
folk might have feigned attention of to stay warm as hinterland no
desired fuggymug in Paris over beer designed for Pelicans with an old
Jewish pied noire clinking Glas because his son had disowned him for
secrets said in public.
I must remember word order in German is more flexible than in English
when I study for my certificates in
Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz. You
just have to know a compound as long as that concerns or deserves
butchery! Gabby and I (now there's a title for a dreadful sitcom) may
share Old Saxon or earlier German grass-porridge growing invaders of
Scotland ancestry. Genes may be better proof than attempting to
construct the common language before my Scot's tendency to bad
poetics, the lady's dark-eye observation code and the smile that will
come on knowledge my grandson has eaten the last of the biscuits.
