Mcginley

Famous quotes containing the word mcginley:

    Oh high is the price of parenthood,
    And daughters may cost you double.
    You dare not forget, as you thought you could,
    That youth is a plague and a trouble.

    Life is the fruit she longs to hand you,
    Ripe on a plate. And while you live,
    Relentlessly she understands you.

    The Enemy, who wears
    Her mother’s usual face
    And confidential tone,
    Has access; doubtless stares
    Into her writing case
    And listens on the phone.
