Women would rather be right than reasonable |
You are much happier when you are happy than when you ain't. |
You can take it as understood that your luck changes only if it's good |
You scour the Bowery, ransack the Bronx,/ Through funeral parlors and honky-tonks./ From river to river you comb the town/ For a place to lay your family down. |
Your hair may be brushed, but your mind's untidy. You've had about seven hours of sleep since Friday. No wonder you feel that lost sensation. You're sunk from a riot of relaxation. |
[In discussing the poem which now might be considered] politically incorrect, ... . . . people felt that way in 1933. |
