“When I get up in the morning I brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue.”
― Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker showed humor and wit

at the Algonquin Round Table

Many tried to match her sarcastic barbs

None of them ever was able.

Pancakes Every Sunday

She made him pancakes every Sunday
Eggs and bacon too
She made him meatloaf every Monday
On Tuesdays it was stew
On Wednesdays she served chicken
On Thursdays they had wine
Fridays were a day for fish
Saturdays were out to dine.
Oh, she fed him finely!
He never ate so well
After a year he left her
Saying he was bored as hell!
