Let us review
Lesson eleven!
Paragraph two
Axiom seven
Once one dismisses
The rest of all possible worlds
One finds that this is
The best of all possible worlds
Once one dismisses
The rest of all possible worlds
One finds that this is
The best of all possible worlds
Pray classify
Pigeons and camels
Pigeons can fly
Camels are mammals
There is a reason
For everything under the sun
There is a season
For everything under the sun
Objection!
What about snakes?
Snakes!
'Twas Snake that tempted mother Eve
Because of Snake we now believe
That though depraved
We can be saved
From hellfire and damnation
Because of Snake's temptation!
If Snake had not seduced our lot
And primed us for salvation
Jehovah could not pardon all
The sins that we call cardinal
Involving bed and bottle
Now onto Aristotle
Mankind is one
All men are brothers
As you'd have done
Do unto others
It's understood in
This best of all possible worlds
All's for the good in
This best of all possible worlds
Objection!
What about war?
War!
Though war may seem a bloody curse
It is a blessing in reverse
When cannon roar
Both rich and poor
By danger are united
'Til every wrong is righted
Philosophers make evident
The point that I have cited
'Tis war makes equal, as it were
The noble and the commoner
Thus war improves relations
Now onto conjugations
Amo, amas
Amat, amamus
Amo, amas
Amat, amamus
Proving that this is
The best of all possible worlds
With love and kisses
The best of all possible worlds
Quod erat demonstrandum!
Q. E. D. 
Quod erat demunstrandum!
Q. E. D. 
Quod erat demunstrandum!
Q. E. D. 
Amo, amas
Amat, amamus
Quod erat demunstrandum!
Q. E. D. 
Amo, amas
Amat, amamus
Quod erat demunstrandum!
Q. E. D. 
Amo, amas
Q. E. D. 
Quod erat demunstrandum!
Amo, amas
Quod erat demonstrandum
In this best of all
Possible, possible, possible worlds!
Quod erat demonstrandum!
Q!
E!
D!
