I. Input for the Computer

Devils: One of us will be better looking
   when it is all over.

Angels: Well, let us hope
   we do not
   go down
   my darling
   both of us
   together.

Orgiasts: Go down
   both of us together
   or do not hope
   to curl
   like oil
   around the leaf.

Onanists: Yes, I feel better
   now
   that it is
   all over
   the leaf.

II. Output from the Computer

Women’s Lib: What is good for us
   is good.
   What is good for them
   is no good.

Chauvinist: Hear, hear!
   Stick it in their ear.

done. It is a situation to suggest that one will
understand no one so soon as no one has won.
