Philosophy made difficult #2

entry picture

Nietzsche declared: 

(when he asked for his supper.)

that he was famished and that was a fact.

His landlady told him:

seeing as he still owed

her his week's rent,

he would have to make do

with the interpretation of his supper.

Super poem! Brilliant - 'and that was a fact' - and the closing two lines - genius. I can't wipe the smile off my face.

Just to be pernickety - pop an apostrophe into 'week's rent' (since you're so high profile).

That was amusing! I was looking for #1 but this poem seems to have mass produced itself? (Nice painting, by the way.)
