A ‘Private Eye’ Kind of Obituary

So, farwell then
Daniel Dennett,

you’ve died,
Gordon Bennett!

one of the 4 horsemen
galloping across the plain,

worshipping Darwin and slaying
‘Religion’ in ‘Reason’s’ name,

with words words and gobbledygook
you’re a clever philosophical bod,

listen, if there is anyone
home, try them on God.

……………………………………

Daniel Dennett (1943 – 2024)
Professor Emeritus of Philosophy,
Tufts University,
Boston,
Massachusetts.
