We Are Well and Truly... Screwed (Then Synergy SPARKS!)

Foundlings

Inspired by Jonathan Swift’s infamous literary parody, “A Modest Proposal,” which brought awareness of the plight of starvation in Ireland, I suggest “I Find Myself Wanting.”

Who is this Swift of whom you speak so highly? chorus several collogues.

I think: “As a society, we are well and truly screwed.”

But just then, from across the table, comes the sweetest sound – an exhalation – followed by a capsule Swiftian bio.

Another chimes in with the historical events that occasioned the piece, and someone else summarizes “A Modest Proposal.” And Life, once again, is worth living!
