Poets' Corner

Random Thoughts From Archie:

archy on this and that

an old stomach
reforms more whiskey drinkers
than a new resolve
and the sexton
stops more than either

a man who is so dull
that he can learn only by personal experience
is too dull to learn
anything important by experience

a great many people
who spend their time mourning
over the brevity of life
could make it seem longer
if they did a little more work

judging by the number and variety
of pills and religions in the world
the chief preoccupation of man
has been the state of his digestion
and the condition of his soul
and just look at both of them
