PHILOSOPHY HIGH AND LOW

there were these philosophers alto and basso who began a conversation that went on two thousand years ... first they argued over water and fire then matter and form then logic and good sense ... while generations and centuries round them went to war these two sat and thought ... while half the world on the other side sat so as not to think ... and both sides went to war ... which made you think alto had a good point ... this was a hard world and we should think of another ... and surely would have and gone out to space and colonized the galaxy with peace ... if we hadn't been thwarted by basso's base designs ... now the odd point basso replies is you call them my designs when all I do is trace them in somewhat bolder print ... and to call them base indeed instead of basic is to show once again you've gone up too high ... and so on ... two millenia and more ... never quite to make the point ... and the wars went on ... alto becoming more and more infuriated basso responding slow down slow down let me get another look at this
