Now for something weirdly different - crank up the volume!



The poem-set-to-music is part of a satirical novel by G.K. Chesterton published in 1914 and widely available on the internet for free downloads. I've just done that and will try to read it during a forthcoming l-o-n-g vacation trip:

"THE FLYING INN is a satirical novel set in a future Great Britain where Islam dominates the political and social life of the country. In addition to depriving the people of many civil and religious freedoms, the Islamic rulers of Britain have also banned the sale and consumption of alcohol. The novel follows the adventures of Humphrey Pump and Captain Patrick Dalroy, who roam the country peddling illicit alcohol in defiance of prohibition.:

Oh, wait - could the subject have been more prophetic than satirical?
