Hume & Kant by the Fire

-

​​


Kant:

“Ahem, a Word with you please Mr. Hume

In my mind your ideas loom

I’m scared and filled with sorrow

Will Sun will rise tomorrow?

You speak of social utility 

Oh don’t you see the futility. 


For if tomorrow your wife no longer needs you?

What’s for dinner, Hume Stew?”


Hume:

“ You know you’re literally a Kant right?

Must be a such a shame

to live with an unfortunate name...”
