  It is very nice to think
The world is full of meat and drink,
With little children saying grace
In every Christian kind of place.

It is a poem of his time and not suitable for a all times to read appreciate! He is not much remembered for his poems and appreciated other than his novel, The Treasure Island!

Wish I could know the thoughts that brought this thought! I cannot, so I am free to enter the opened door and search for the unwritten words, by my own thoughts, loove it! !

I like how pretentious everyone is on this site. It seriously makes me laugh every day I come here. (See, I understand irony!)

Anyway, the poem is a thought, thought by a man who thought quite a lot. (I'm still doing it!) If he meant for it to be ironic, he didn't do a great job of getting that across. If it's just a thought, well... then it's just a thought.

Have read your readers comments and despair - do not these people understand irony?

Maybe he meant well, with a little sarcasm and hint of hope. Interesting poem. I like it-short and to the point.

What a smug vacuous poem! When RLS was writing starvation was everywhere, not least in his own country Britain.

A wonderful dream to think about! Let the dream come true one day! And it will happen!
