"TWO PERFECT SATIRISTS"
Sir-F.A.B. (Listener, October 4) should be thanked for his "discovery" of two perfect satirists, T. E. Miles and my humble self. (Satire: A composition in which wickedness or folly is held up to ridicule-Dictionary.) Discovery usually fills one with elation, Columbus sailed West and discovered-the Indies; no, only America. But, of .course, that was something. Had F.A.B. thought a little more deeply he might have discovered beyond his Dickens characters, the Lord Jesus Christ, who certainly rebuked wickedness and folly. Perhaps these simple lines will help F.A.B. to further discovery: Without Light, however good our eyes, We cannot see. Without air, however fine our frame, We cannot breathe. Without. God (Our Father), however strange it seems, There is no mine or me. Alpha and Omega, Lord, we live and move, and are. in Thee May F.A.B.’s happy "congratulatory mood" increase.
