A hundred years ago,
The cultural critic Karl Kraus of Vienna said:
It will not suffice, to have no ideas of your own.
You also have to be incapable of expressing them.
That is why there is so much prattle all around.
If you have no ideas, you need many words.
The result is speech diarrhoea.
It is the only illness,
Not covered by health insurance.
A pity.
Because I would gladly pay those 10 Euros charge
For really bad cases.
