Descartes is empty

The philosopher Descartes loved drinking

He'd have shot after shot till he was stinking 

If anyone said 'You want another?'

He'd say 'Absolutely, if you're buying, brother'

 

He was in the bar one night 

Everything seemed all right

The whole bar was having fun

Descartes was happy, as was everyone 

 

Someone said 'I'll treat you to a shot'

Descartes, he smiled, said 'I think not '

And then the strangest thing occurred 

You had to be there, it was absurd

 

He just vanished into thin air

One second he was, then he wasn't there

The man who said 'I think therefore I am'

Just up and disappeared. Oh damn!

 

Did Descartes need to keep thinking to keep existing?

You think it's true, you keep persisting 

That's an idea I am strongly resisting

Ok, you're right! Stop with the arm-twisting!
