  • Verse 1
    In 
    the be
    ginning 
    he was 
    baby just 
    like any other baby, 

    my little son, 
    Foecke. 

    Who would have known, 
    in the beginning, 
    look
    ing at his 
    tiny unprotected 
    Verse 2
    frame, 
    that one 
    day he would grow 
    in
    to the large, 
    granitine form. 
    The 
    primordial 
    eye- of- the- 
    elephant through 
    which 
    human
    ity would send 
    their anger 
    out, 

    through as many 
    lan
    guages as 
    there are 
    languages, 
    through the primor
    dial eye- 
    of- the- elephant 
    out into the 
    universe. 

    Verse 3
    A baby 
    like any other baby. 

    A child 
    like any other child. 

    A boy like any 
    other boy. 

    Until about 
    grade 
    Verse 4
    three. 
    And then things 
    began to change. 
    My little 
    Foecke. It began in 
    the schoolyard. 
    Small outrages 
    building 
    up into larger 
    outrages 
    in the childish 
    sys
    tems. 
    But these children 
    were too young to 
    pull down 
    the words 
    that they 
    needed 
    to send 
    their 
    inarticulateness 
    out into the 
    greater schoolyard. 
    Then, 

    in one collective moment, 
    they noticed 
    my son, 
    Foecke. And they nicknamed 
    him 
    Fuck. 

    And so began the 
    story of 
    Verse 5
    Fuck. 
    And 
    with each intona
    tion of his 
    nickname, 
    my little son, 
    Foecke, (
    Fuck) generated 
    into a larger 
    more 
    gen
    erous 
    being. 
    His 
    muscles became 
    more 
    defined. 
    His eye 
    became stronger 

    and more constant. 
    And 
    his back 
    grew wide like 
    a stairway to 
    heaven. 
    And with 
    every Fuck! 
    that reached 
    his labyrinthine 
    ears 
    his 
    giantness extended 
    into lumbering 
    and constancy 
    and tank- 
    like purpose. 

    And as 
    their 
    childish 
    Verse 6
    rage 
    grew in
    to 
    men's 
    rage 
    they 
    gravitated 
    towards my 
    son, Fuck. 
    Clambering 
    to 
    be lifted 
    up 
    and to have their 
    anger 
    harmlessly 
    sent 
    out into the universe 
    through 
    his great 
    primordial 
    eye- of- the- 
    elephant. 
    And 
    Foecke, (Fuck), that slow- moving 
    son of mine, the gentle 
    giant, 
    obliged them all. 
    He never 
    said 
    no. 
    He allowed their 
    inarticulate rage 
    to 
    be exhumed 
    in his 
    name, 

    their impotence 
    pressed against 
    the comfort 
    of his broad 
    and 
    constant back. 
    And 
    as the 
    ever
    - expanding 
    distortions 
    of wis
    dom and truth 
    triggered 
    even more 
    rage 
    throughout the 
    world, 
    throughout as many languages 
    as 
    there are 
    lan
    guages, 
    the Word 
    spread like wildfire. 
    Fuck 
    would accept everyone. 
    None 
    would be turned away. 
    All 
    could send out 
    their 
    most important 
    message just 
    by calling upon 
    his name. 
    He would 
    only grunt gently 
    as he 
    bent to take 
    you on. And 
    people came from far 
    and wide 
    and they were 
    not necessarily 
    healed 
    but they were not 
    killed either. 

    Verse 7
    In the beginning 
    there was Foecke

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
