Quote of the day

Not really a quote but more of a poem that was sent to James Madison during the Bill of Rights Debate by his friend Richard Peters

Eleven Cooks assembled once

To make a Treat of Soup

All knowing - not a Dunce Among the skilful Group.

The Soup was made - delicious! good!

Exclaim'd each grateful Guest

But some who would not taste the Food,

Declar'd it wanted Zest.

Among those Malcontents were found

Some faulting each Ingredient

While others eager search'd around

To find out some Expedient

With which at once to damn the whole

Not take it in Detail.

They would not sup a single Bowl

Lest more they dare not rail.

At Length the Grumblers all fell out

In Nothing could agree

Not e'em while making a Rout

of what the Soup should be.

They curse the Cooks & hungry rave

for those of better Skill -

Another Mess some swear they have

On which they'll freely swill...
