“i have had my ups and downs
but wotthehell wotthehell
yesterday sceptres and crowns
fried oysters and velvet gowns
and today i herd with bums
but wotthehell wotthehell
i wake the world from sleep
as i caper and sing and leap
when i sing my wild free tune
wotthehell wotthehell
under the blear eyed moon
i am pelted with cast off shoon
but wotthehell wotthehell”
― Don Marquis, The Annotated Archy and Mehitabel

@Hortense OMG! I haven't seen anyone mention Archy and Mehitabel in many years! I have a copy of the book around here somewhere.

@cherylgoldk It's one of my favorite books, I love it. Especially Mehitabel, although Archie's philosophy is pretty interesting, too.
