>But one question troubles me
>Far more than this lot

>What nationality is Les Murray?
>Wherefore hails his ancestry?
>Whom does he call the mother country
>When he phones home through OTC?
>
>Everyone is searching for the meaning of life
>Religion and politics, black versus white.
>Karl Marx played on the left, Ayn Rand played on the right
>But there's a much bigger problem. It stops me sleeping at night.
