Mike W @mjwallace42.bsky.social · 09/10/2026For YEARS I thought the second verse of Robert Plant's "Ship of Fools" is the literary masterful: "Donne claims that no man is an island / While I land up in jeopardy" As opposed to the actual: "Who claims that no man is an island?" And I'm still mad at Plant for not doing better. 🤣 131
