[Poem] “Unfortunate Coincidence” by Dorothy Parker
By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is
Infinite, undying --
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.
THE PORTABLE JAMES JOYCE, edited by Harry Levin, used to be widely circulated. Viking Press, in the sixties and seventies, had many authors in the “Portable” series. I had THE PORTABLE DOROTHY PARKER, for example.

[POEM] Resumé by Dorothy Parker
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
