This is how my mind works:

I wish I could drink like a lady,
I can take one or two at the most.
Three and I'm under the table,
Four and I'm under the host.

-- Dorothy Parker

If you wanna be my lover, you gotta appreciate my poems or no zigga-zig-ah will be done.

(crédito da imagem.)

Say my love is easy had,
Say I'm bitten raw with pride,
Say I am too often sad ---
Still behold me at your side.

Say I'm neither brave nor young,
Say I woo and coddle care,
Say the devil touched my tongue ---
Still you have my heart to wear.

But say my verses do not scan,
And I get me another man!

-- Dorothy Parker (daqui)

Song of one of the Girls

Here in my heart, I am Helen;
I'm Aspasia and Hero, at least.
I'm Judith, and Jael, and Madame de Staël;
I'm Salome, moon of the East.

Here in my soul I am Sappho;
Lady Hamilton am I, as well.
In me Récamier vies with Kitty O'Shea,
With Dido, and Eve, and poor Nell.

I'm all of the glamorous ladies
At whose beckoning history shook.
But you are a man, and see only my pan,
So I stay at home with a book.


-- Dorothy Parker (Decidi postá-lo porque é um dos meus poemas preferidos. Mais, foi escrito pela Dorothy Parker e menciona uma data de senhoras maravilhosas que admiro bastante.
