We and They - Rudyard Kipling

Father and Mother, and Me,
Sister and Auntie say
All the people like us are We,
And every one else is They.
And They live over the sea,
While We live over the way,
But-would you believe it? --They look upon We
As only a sort of They!

We eat pork and beef
With cow-horn-handled knives.
They who gobble Their rice off a leaf,
Are horrified out of Their lives;
While they who live up a tree,
And feast on grubs and clay,
(Isn't it scandalous? ) look upon We
As a simply disgusting They!

We shoot birds with a gun.
They stick lions with spears.
Their full-dress is un-.
We dress up to Our ears.
They like Their friends for tea.
We like Our friends to stay;
And, after all that, They look upon We
As an utterly ignorant They!

We eat kitcheny food.
We have doors that latch.
They drink milk or blood,
Under an open thatch.
We have Doctors to fee.
They have Wizards to pay.
And (impudent heathen!) They look upon We
As a quite impossible They!

All good people agree,
And all good people say,
All nice people, like Us, are We
And every one else is They:
But if you cross over the sea,
Instead of over the way,
You may end by (think of it!) looking on We
As only a sort of They!

Enjoy!

good list man, thanks for posting

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time

I can relate to that, I remember most of my first 9 years in school as loving gym and the breaks between each course, + the first 5 min in a course and 5 min before a course ended (Since it was still a bit of ruckus and excitement before the teacher made it quiet down and started talking).

Think we had 5 hours math, 5 hours Norwegian, 5 hours Christianity/Religion, 3 hours sewing/knitting/that kinda stuff, 4-5 hours of History/geography

Around 5% interest in all of them, finding all of it an unsufforable bore after the first few hours. Questioning everything, since it felt so weird and forced. Making an uproar when refusing to get babtised, when arguing with the religion teachers, I even questioned and attacked the math and Norwegian teacher for pretending those were the 2 things related to your intelligence, felt lied to.
