Introduction/A History of Contempt

Here under construction is POETASTER, the interstellar home of poet philosopher and tinhorn intellectual J.R. McCarthy. Welcome. When there is something to know about me, it will be here...

Not very interesting in the beginning, is it? Please be patient: I'm gonna buy some furniture and fill the fridge,
and before you know it, you'll be sleeping here three or four nights a week.



A HISTORY OF CONTEMPT

The doctor's daughter
was instructed to despise
the precepts of Faith.

The preacher's daughter
was instructed to despise
Physics and Logic.

The farmer's daughter
was instructed to despise
Preachers and Doctors.

The beggar's daughter
was instructed to despise
no one, and nothing.
