OF "CABBAGES AND KINGS" AND DONALD TRUMP
of "cabbages and kings" and donald trump......
my take is lewis carroll meant there is no difference between one cabbage head and another. its interesting how odd the various interpretations are. one presumably educated person on the internet said that carroll got it from shakespeare in richard iii where he said "cabbages and things". these english professors need a brain. i'm sure this is bs.
according to google "cabbages and kings" in the poem "walrus and the carpenter" is a nonsense poem. pardon me google but i think lewis carroll managed to channel and control a lot of hostility and anger toward the stupidity of human beings by his writing of the GREATEST STORIES EVER TOLD, "alice in wonderland" and "through the looking glass".
my take is that cabbages and kings means there is not much difference between a head of cabbage and the head of a nation. both are alive but a head of cabbage has a purpose.
as i walked out on my last day having worked with the incompetents at department of defense for over 30 years i thought of some of the last lines in "alice in wonderland":
`Off with her head!' the Queen shouted at the top of her voice. Nobody moved.
`Who cares for you?' said Alice, (she had grown to her full size by this time.) `You're nothing but a pack of cards!'
