A country for old men

Dear President of the Republic of Spain,

In the first place, allow me to congratulate you. We have a bright country despite the weather. The public administration works so hard on itself, that sometimes it reminds me of an ascetic monk thinking of his inner self conception. They take it calmly and are deathly serious. It’s with great pride and pleasure to convey my gratitude and admiration through this letter. Long live the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

To continue and go ahead, I’d like to personally thank you for the extraordinary geographical location of our nation. It is right in the middle of the world map, not too west, not too east. God bless the holy Inquisition and plagues in the Middle Ages. Considering the latitude it’s not too high to worry in case you don't have a roof above, but high enough to keep the desert away and save on camels and fabric for turbans. I couldn’t think of a more strategic position, looks like the job of a location scout on his first movie, pure and innocent talent, just genius. Thank you.

In human related terms, for our educational system and social behavior I can only express my total satisfaction. A fully equipped squad of teachers training us to understand the mathematics of time and its relative nature, so that we have deep matters to think about once we graduate. We can positively affirm that our heads don’t stop swinging the ax, they work hard the spectral landscapes of our noble land. We have been nicely provided with all the information on how fields should look like in our imagination, in case we ever get a chance to be paid for our labour.

In conclusion and to summarize, my chest swells when I look around. Ours is a country for old men. They play pétanque, holiday at the coast, ride for free on the bus and look at our youth with compassion. What else could my generation ask for? I feel at the peak of civilization.

Whit all my respects:
