1 Nothing that you can own is finer than a sturdy lacy doily. There! Any clean armchair, now fit for Victoria herself! The home where your armchair sits becomes thus a rich castle. 2 But some people would rather steal or curse or do street drugs Than craft themselves a simple doily!

weeeeeeeeeeird. you get points just on weirdness factor. I don't like the utter lack of rhythm, the disjointedness, ... but it hits a spot in me, somewhere, as delightfully weird.

sorry, baby. but a doily won't do it. what illusion are you in? this is so obnoxiously arrogant.

Hateful and vile. Is this really your message to impoverished children?

wacky. are we allowed to buy our doilies or do we have to craft them? and where on the armchair does the doily go?

A fine sentiment expressed in the most honest fashion. I think it may be improved by changing "or do street drugs" to "or get wacked out on spaz biscuits".
