Do this. Don't move. O'Grady says do this, <br />You get a move on, see, do what I say. <br />Look lively when I say O'Grady says. <br /> <br />Say this. Shut up. O'Grady says say this, <br />You talk fast without thinking what to say. <br />What goes is what I say O'Grady says. <br /> <br />Or rather let me put the point like this: <br />O'Grady says what goes is what I say <br />O'Grady says; that's what O'Grady says. <br /> <br />By substituting you can shorten this, <br />Since any god you like will do to say <br />The things you like, that's what O'Grady says. <br /> <br />The harm lies not in that, but in that this <br />Progression's first and last terms are I say <br />O'Grady says, not just O'Grady says. <br /> <br />Yet it's O'Grady must be out of this <br />Before what we say goes, not what we say <br />O'Grady says. Or so O'Grady says.<br /><br />Kingsley Amis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-voice-of-authority-a-language-game/
