Perhaps I should always qualify my augments so it always excludes an
absurdist position.
Or perhaps you could behave like a rational individual and exclude them

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
