Departing slightly from the thread. Inevitably, I love funny poems and songs. There was a little article about Jerry Hall, who quoted this, by Wendy Cope -
The day he moved out was terrible
That evening I went through hell
His absence was not the problem
But the corkscrew had gone, as well.
I have always loved Dorothy Parker, one of my favourites -
Hickory dickory, little white hen
Only laid eggs for gentlemen,
You could not force her,
With gun or lariat,
To come across for the proletariat.
