BENJAMIN HAPGOOD BURT
"The Pig Got Up and Slowly Walked Away"

One evening in October, when I was one-third sober,
An’ taking home a ‘load’ with manly pride;
My poor feet began to stutter, so I lay down in the gutter,
And a pig came up an’ lay down by my side;
Then we sang ‘It’s all fair weather when good fellows get together,’
Till a lady passing by was heard to say:
‘You can tell a man who “boozes” by the company he chooses’
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

How do you know love is gone? If you said that you would be there at seven and you get there by nine, and he or she has not called the police yet – it’s gone.

MARLENE DIETRICH

I believe it to be far from harmless—the Desire to be beautiful. This is a universal instinct, and it is easy to see how this desire, properly goaded, has every chance of getting out of hand. Once out of hand, it becomes the cause of much unhappiness. The young girl of today is the unhappy victim. I wish I could say the innocent victim—she is almost innocent. But let us take her side; she deserves it.
