    What at the dying words of Cleopatra in Shakespeare's play?


    Razors pain you
    Rivers are damp
    Acid stains you
    Drugs cause cramp
    Gas smells awful
    Nooses give
    Guns aren't lawful
    You might as well live
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Actually, it's a famous poem by Hollywood critic and columist Dorothy Parker. She was well-known for a tart tongue! Heaven help the book, play, or movie person whom she criticized and didn't like! Check here http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Dorothy_Parker and you'll see what I mean...

    Who is one of the soldiers shot in Stephen Crane's Red Badge of Courage? (Possibly one of the world's most boring books!)

    Boy! Did I kill this game? I'm sorry. That's from a great non-poem by Langston Hughes entitled "Johannesburg Mines."

    How about this one?

    "beside the white
    chickens."
    These fragments I have shored against my ruins

    Came from this poem, I think, no?

    so much depends
    upon

    a red wheel
    barrow

    glazed with rain
    water

    beside the white
    chickens.

    William Carlos Williams


    he could balance an eel on the end of his nose!
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
