Once there came a man br Who said, br "Range me all men of the world in rows." br And instantly br There was terrific clamour among the people br Against being ranged in rows. br There was a loud quarrel, world-wide. br It endured for ages; br And blood was shed br By those who would not stand in rows, br And by those who pined to stand in rows. br Eventually, the man went to death, weeping. br And those who staid in bloody scuffle br Knew not the great simplicity.
