Recollections can only bore us; Now it's over, and now it's through. Our day is dead as a dinosaurus. Other the paths that you pursue. What is the girl in the case to do? What is she going to spend her day at? Fun demands, at a minimum, two-- And love is a game that two can play at. L'ENVOI: Prince, I'm packing away the rue. I'll give them something to shout "Hooray" at. I've got somebody else in view: And love is a game that two can play at. _General Review of the Sex Situation_ Woman wants monogamy; Man delights in novelty. Love is woman's moon and sun; Man has other forms of fun. Woman lives but in her lord; Count to ten, and man is bored. With this the gist and sum of it, What earthly good can come of it? _Inscription for the Ceiling of a Bedroom_ Daily dawns another day; I must up, to make my way. Though I dress and drink and eat, Move my fingers and my feet, Learn a little, here and there, Weep and laugh and sweat and swear, Hear a song, or watch a stage, Leave some words upon a page, Claim a foe, or hail a friend-- Bed awaits me at the end. Though I go in pride and strength, I'll come back to bed at length. Though I walk in blinded woe, Back to bed I'm bound to go. High my heart, or bowed my head, All my days but lead to bed. Up, and out, and on; and then Ever back to bed again, Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall-- I'm a fool to rise at all! _Pictures in the Smoke_ Oh, gallant was the first love, and glittering and fine; The second love was water, in a clear white cup; The third love was his, and the fourth was mine; And after that, I always get them all mixed up. _Biographies_ 1 Now this is the story of Lucy Brown, A glittering jewel in virtue's crown. From earliest youth, she aspired to please. She never fell down and dirtied her knees; She put all her pennies in savings banks; She never omitted her "please" and "thanks"; She swallowed her spinach without a squawk; And patiently listened to Teacher's talk; She thoughtfully stepped over worms and ants; And earnestly watered the potted plants; She didn't dismember expensive toys; And never would play with the little boys.
