William Blake's The Chimney Sweeper (1789) entered the chat

When my mother died I was very young,

And my father sold me while yet my tongue

Could scarcely cry " 'weep! 'weep! 'weep! 'weep!"

So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep.

But on a good note it looks like Florida's Free Kill Law might finally be ending after 35 years of horrors to all the Floridians and tourists caught in it's trap, no thanks to the Republicans though.

Read the fine print tho: "Due to lack of migrant workers." What's that again? Lack of migrants you say? Whatever could be causing that?
