HEE HAW ESSENCE
“Braying is not an art; it is a science.” Sancho Panza. Don Quixote’s Hist. Chapter 28.
Children bray at birth without teachers and without schools; what joyful envy their braying causes us!
The Pope and all his clergy bray in churches, temples answering very joyfully in chorus Braying.
Professors bray in their classrooms, the students answering out of time, intoning their Braying with great pleasure and care.
The stripes, stripes and stars bray in military parades answering their soldiers happy with the encounter; people applauding their braying braying.
Politicians bray, their lordships thundering in the Hemicycle, embraced and hated each other like a bunch of hypocrites exclaiming:
How good it is to Bray in time; and bad out of time!
Young people bray at musical concerts shouting at the performing groups; and continuing, excited, in the do re mi fa sol of their Hee Haws.
From Hee Haw an Aria has been made by the protesters of their reason or lack of reason so convincing that the government, all governments, colored or colorless, brand them as foolish Brayers.
From the womb of our mothers well-skilled quadrupeds are born, making a thousand progresses during our life until their death Braying.
-Daniel de Culla

If wo/men learned to Bray properly they would not kill each other.
