By the request of a certain enthusiatic entity hi Keiva I preface this with a blush-of-embarrassment-emoticon, and offer an answer to the Purple Cow credited to that late, great poet, --Anon.
AFTER READING MR. BURGESS
I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one;
But from the milk we're getting now,
There certainly must be one.
And couple more Dot Parker selections:
RESUMÉ
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
EXPERIENCE
Some men break your heart in two,
Some men fawn and flatter,
Some men never look at you;
And that cleans up the matter.
Dorothy Parker
©1932, 1933 by The New Yorker
