The House of Peers, throughout the war,
Did nothing in particular,
And did it very well:”

With the new city street it has to wear
A number in. But what about the brook
That held the house as in an elbow-crook?”

giving up my car keys and my cash,
keeping only a pack of Salem cigarettes
the way a child holds on to a toy.

puts the inked-in X’s”
