View submission: Surprisingly, Chapotraphouse shows maturity in the passing of Bush. Just kidding. The wastrels are having a literal party thread.

• "Come let us mock at the great*

• That had such burdens on the mind*

• And toiled so hard and late*

• To leave some monument behind,*

• Nor thought of the levelling wind.*

• Come let us mock at the wise;*

• With all those calendars whereon*

• They fixed old aching eyes,*

• They never saw how seasons run,*

• And now but gape at the sun.*

• Come let us mock at the good*

• That fancied goodness might be gay,*

• And sick of solitude*

• Might proclaim a holiday:*

• Wind shrieked—and where are they?*

• Mock mockers after that*

• That would not lift a hand maybe*

• To help good, wise or great*

• To bar that foul storm out, for we*

• Traffic in mockery."*

• W.B. Yeats
