Immanuel
Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable,
Heidegger,
Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table,
David
Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and
Hegel,
And
Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as schloshed as
Schlegel.
There's nothing
Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'bout the turning of the wrist,
Socrates himself was permanently pissed...
John
Stuart
Mill, of his own free will, with half a pint of shandy wasparticularly ill,
Plato, they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day,
Aristotle,
Aristotle was a beggar for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And
Rene
Descartes was a drunken fart, "
I drink therefore
I am."
Yes,
Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed.
