| Abstract: | -
There was once a princess called Sophia, -
whose philosophy museum was superior. -
But most of the stores -
became locked behind doors, -
which led to collective amnesia. -
Then along came a band of ajar-minders, -
who decided to issue reminders -
of the treasures inside -
that hadn't yet died, -
and opened the doors to all finders. |
