Book 14 Page 16

 

Stretching the bounds of logic

 

Guns aren’t dangerous,

it’s only the people who shoot them off .

 

Falling isn’t dangerous,

it’s only when you come to a sudden stop.

 

Nuclear weapons aren’t dangerous,

accept for the ‘odd’ incident.

 

Speed doesn’t kill,

it’s only when you have an accident.

 

Drug abuse is safe,

accept for when it kills you.

 

Unhealthy logic isn’t dangerous,

Or is it?
