|
1863 a Gettysburg Banana
|
|||
|
|
------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Fourscore and seven afternoon snacks ago our foreBananas brought forth on this
|
|||
|
|
BBS a new Republic, conceived in Bananahood, and dedicated to the proposition
|
|||
|
|
that all Bananas are created equal (under Barri).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now we are engaged in a great war against Banana eaters and the Black
|
|||
|
|
Tarantulas testing whether that the Republic, or any lunch so conceived and so
|
|||
|
|
well ripened, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.
|
|||
|
|
We have come to dedicate a portion of this BBS as a final resting-place for
|
|||
|
|
those Bananas who here gave their skins so that others may live and do normal
|
|||
|
|
Banana things. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But,
|
|||
|
|
in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate - we cannot consecrate - we cannot hallow
|
|||
|
|
this BBS. The brave Bananas, living and eaten, who laid down their skins here
|
|||
|
|
have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will
|
|||
|
|
little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what
|
|||
|
|
they did here. It is for us the uneaten rather, to be dedicated here to the
|
|||
|
|
unfinished work which those Bananas who surrended the white mushy bits in the
|
|||
|
|
centre here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here
|
|||
|
|
dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honoured
|
|||
|
|
eaten we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their last
|
|||
|
|
full measure of fruitfulness - that we here highly resolve that these eaten
|
|||
|
|
shall not have been eaten because there was nothing else in the friut basket -
|
|||
|
|
that this Republic, under Barri, shall have a new birth of divine dictatorship
|
|||
|
|
of the Bananas, by the Bananas, for the Bananas, shall not overripen and so
|
|||
|
|
perish from the earth.
