Who was the fellow and what era was he from? Who gave him the right to smile such a gun?

How could he possibly have goodness in his soul, with a rifle so big it ate sea monsters whole?

but how could he be rotten with such a bright countenance? And who hadn’t he blessed as he hunted 8 continents

— but wait just a second, the reader interrupts — there’s only seven landblocks to fill up earth’s cups!

well, that might be so, in the books that you’ve read. You’ve just not trolled the marshlands with Big Tilly Ted

-grinned in your soul at what you’ve read? Consider contributing to the work
