Not Quite Hocked
Well Swift did a fairly good job at writing "A Modest Proposal" but hid did leave out a huge part the was a bit of a disclaimer for me, he forgot to tell us how babies are cooked. I guess he did say that they could be "stewed, roasted, baked, or broiled" but in order for me to completely believe in his idea I needed a bit more. If he would have told us things like what color wine would be appropriate for a baby rib dinner or what is a common side dish that a baby steak is normally served with. Over all it was a good proposal but things like this would have made his argument stronger and a bit more tasty.
