Today is a day to promote awareness of bullying here in BC. This is not fiction, I remembered it for a good many years. I hope this makes up for my not wearing pink today.

Chorus of the Spartans
THIS SONG HAS NO TUNE YET
When we were Spartans the world was flat
We wore no clothes, no shoes, no hat
The house we lived in had no heat
We beat the slaves and ate raw meat
–
The little warmth that ever we had
Was sunshine on our flanks unclad
We wrestled naked and sweat dripped
Across your face your eyes your lips
–
When we were Spartans no mercy we
The weak and sickly killed without pity
For they in battle would have died or froze
Requiring us to bury them with no clothes
–
In driving rain and bitter cold
When we were Spartans we had no gold
You laughed at pain and fought so bold
Then we were Spartans and not so old
