THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

WE NEED TO CLEAR THIS UP FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL

[Poll #601616]

You must choose wisely as this divisive question of folk song lyrics completely polarized Mr. Dihlman's 4th grade class back in 1984.

You will also notice that "Hurrah for the pumpkin pie" is not a valid poll option because that's a given.

"Yet" does not rhyme with "fun," unless perhaps you're fiddycet.

Well then Ms. Child should have written:

Hurrah for the fête! Is it pudding yet?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

A most brilliant and elegant solution to an otherwise sticky problem. If it had been written like that, we would now all be arguing over whether or not "it" meant the fête itself or the indeterminate mass of dessert slowly becoming pudding.

But isn't a fête yet another indeterminite memetic mass congealing into into a series of icons, which then form a set of holidays, which then form a holiday season? The pudding is a metaphor for the universe. When looked at as a whole, can you really tell where one bite of pudding begins and another ends? Is is not full of strange vortices and strange attractors? Is it not true that some of the mass of pudding remains unaccounted for? It's only the mysteries of physics that hold the pudding together. Is the pudding ever really done? Does it not recycle itself into another pudding by next year? It's a cosmic dance of creation and destruction, with moments of pudding.
