Colorless Green

“Colorless Green Ideas
Sleep Furiously”
Classic case-study of B.S.
From the asked-
For linguist at M.I.T.
But I know we
Could soon be gone
When even Chomsky could prophesy:
“Cthulhu Fhtagn”

Under the sea of the mind –
For the moment deceased –
Dreaming the end of Mankind
Is a god, and what’s awful is, he’s a priest
And when the stars are aligned,
He will rise and destroy:
Teaching those left about
New ways to revel, shout,
Kill, and enjoy!
And even though
Lovecraft just wanted to titillate me
Yet I know
COLORLESS GREEN IDEAS SLEEP FURIOUSLY

‘Cos I’ve got friends
Who say “anarchy” when they mean “chaos” instead
And “violence”
Any outcome but billions starving or dead
The “Environment”
As a god stained with humans and longing for clean:
COLORLESS GREEN
Colorless Green
Colorless, Colorless, Colorless Green
Colorless, Colorlesss Green!

If ever Noam Chomsky
this brownnosing doggerel hears
I’ve no doubt
He’ll think it
just as much nonsense
as “Colorless Green Ideas”
But I thought he is
In none of my songs
And he could remind my friends:
CTHULHU FHTAGN!!!!
(Not like they’d belive me)
Colorless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously:
Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl
Fhtagn
