Cookin'
By Paul Oman
1977 - revised 1985 - published Journal Irr. Results 9/88
Brown n' lumpy, in texture like glue;
I poured me-self into dat batcha stew.
It bubbled, it rumbled, it moaned on da fire,
and when nightfall came it still weren't through.
A witch's brew, whether thick oh thin,
'taint no match for da mixture dat bol'd within.
Da eyes of a froog, da legs of a newt,
'taint but nothin' 'pared to what I'd tossed in!
Dare was a pinch o' this, n' a 'hole lota that;
Why dat spicy concoction coulda kilt a grown rat!
Hey! But dat's how I's like it, so dat's how it's made,
n' anyone who'd be complainin', I'll knock dead oh flat!
My, dem fumes from dat stew pot were noxious n' vile,
strong nuf to be smelt fur prit-near a mile.
Well, long 'bout noon, twas done n' I knew it.
Why jist thinkin' 'bout dat stew - I cut a huge smile.
But fore I could taste it, Lord, n' explosion loud
surrounded dat stew pot with a mushroom shaped cloud.
High in da sky it rose up an' foamed
blottin' out even da Lord's own clouds!
A Critical Mass, you see, done foamed in ma pot,
when da whole bloodly mixture was a bubblin' hot.
So, "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
"Cause I'm the one gonna cook up dis evenin's fare.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for
one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers
of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent
respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure
these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter
or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its
powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed,
will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly
all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves
by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing
invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their
duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient
sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems
of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,
all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts
be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation
till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would
relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants
only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of
their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights
of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative
powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining
in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization
of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations
of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of
their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out
their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies without the consent of our legislature.
He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by
our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants
of these states:
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing taxes on us without our consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses:
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government,
and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same
absolute rule in these colonies:
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments:
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases
whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation
and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous
ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens taken captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become
the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers,
the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and
conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions
have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define
a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts
by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances
of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured
them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections
and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce
in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war,
in peace friends.
We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to
the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the
good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought
to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all
political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that
as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish
commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of
this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other
our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
