Wise beyond his years. He protects the smurf berries. Never knowing why.

because he can't get his hand away. it's glued firmly in place. that's why.

Brilliant, you have dissected the sinister angst and grief that lies in the true thoughts of the smurfs with panache and a brutal simplicity. All we need now is one for the plight of smurfette.

With this poem, Bachus has hit on a primal cultural archetype. "The Smurfs" was a creepy show. Their skin has a blue pallor, like corpses, or pagan celtic body paint. And the show has strong anti-semitic overtones. Gargamel, their enemy, looks like a nazi cartoon-jew. And he wants to capture the smurfs to make gold. And that cat, Azriel...Israel? hmm? And Gargamel makes the first smurfette, the one with black hair. Lilith? Gnosticism anyone? Hello!
