October brings a cheery glimpse of hell,
Each vacant storefront filling up with ghouls
With zombie, ghost, and pirate masks to sell
To clever children and to grown-up fools:
For we’ve decided the deterioration
Of Western culture’s cause for celebration.

    Your zinger about celebrating the deterioration of Western culture reminds me of a line from the titular character in “I, Claudius”: “Let the poisons rise.”

    It reminded me of the following exchange:

    Reporter: What do you think of Western Civilization?
    Gandhi: I think it would be a good idea.
