Lol…clever…I enjoyed your Fraiku and the video. I’ve studied a wee bit of philosophy, so recognized the names.

So glad you enjoyed it. Monty Python also did a Philosophers Football match between Greece and Germany that you might find amusing too.

That was hilarious. Thanks for the link. I’ve watched some Monty Python but hadn’t seen this particular skit. Socrates is the GOAT!
