Think You Have a Problem Conjuring an Appetite for Breakfast?

Drugs Made Pauline Vague

Drugs made Pauline vague. She sat one day at the breakfast table
Fingering in a baffled way
The fronds of the maidenhair plant.



Was it the salt you were looking for dear?
said Dulcie, exchanging a glance with the Brigadier.



Chuff chuff Pauline what's the matter?
Said the Brigadier to his wife
Who did not even notice
What a handsome couple they made.



- Stevie Smith, English poetess (1902-1971)
