Goldstein’s Writings

(sung to "Kung Fu Fighting" by Carl Douglas)

(Dedicated to Laurence Goldstein, most recently of the University of Hong Kong and The University of Kent )

 

Ho-ho-ho-ho. . .

Ha-ha-ha-ha. . .

Hee-hee-hee-hee. . .

Har-har-har-har. . .

 

Everybody read Goldstein’s writings

His prose is quite enlightening

With style always intertwining

Guffaws with Wittgensteining!

 

He’s the Britishest of men but teaches in Hong Kong,

Ripping paradox apart with just a cheeky tongue,

Strong liars he detests (no statement he insists)—

Not a grain of truth can add to heap analysis!

 

Everybody read Goldstein’s writings

His prose is quite enlightening

With style always intertwining

Guffaws with Wittgensteining!

 

Whether shaving Russell’s chin or boiling up a frog—

He says “Wisdom’s all right, but—hah!—let’s have some fun!”

“A new comb can part your head, but in a box instead

makes the basis for a bet that truly makes grey matter split!”
