Paddy was a farmer
Paddy was a farmer, ploughing every day,
Up and down the furrows he went his merry way,
Until one day, when it happened,
When he found a hidden cache,
Revealed by his plough, he was totally aghast.
Well, by George, he shouted,
I am rich as rich can be,
Gold and jewels and coins and stuff,
That’s the end of farming for me.

Johnny was a barber
Johnny was a barber; he loved his job, he did,
Cutting people’s hair and mowing others wigs.
Until one day he reeled back, shocked by what he saw,
A hole in the head of a customer, a man quite old and poor,
Why don’t you go to the doctor? he asked the man out loud,
To get it fixed and filled in quick, that’s what I’d do, he cried,
Oh, no, I can’t do that, the old man then answered him,
I have had it, there, for forty years; it’s now part of me, he grinned,
I would miss it, that hole up there; he went on to explain,
Please trim the hear, he said to John, but mind the hole he warned.

Quote
“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.”
André Gide
Known for his fiction as well as his autobiographical works, Gide exposes to public view the conflict and eventual reconciliation between the two sides of his personality, split apart by a straight-laced education and a narrow social moralism. Gide’s work can be seen as an investigation of freedom and empowerment in the face of moralistic and puritan constraints, and gravitates around his continuous effort to achieve intellectual honesty. His self-exploratory texts reflect his search of how to be fully oneself, even to the point of owning one’s sexual nature, without at the same time betraying one’s values. His political activity is informed by the same ethos, as suggested by his repudiation of communism after his 1936 voyage to the USSR.
