Thoughtful Thursday

The age-old joke:

"I say, do you like Kipling?"

"I can't say as I know - I've never Kippled before."

From Rudyard Kipling, on the subject of Social Progress:

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man.
There are only four things certain since Social
Progress began; -
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns
to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling
back to the Fire.
