    With wipes and tickers and what not
    Until the squeezer nips your scrag,
    Booze and the blowens cop the lot.
    —William Ernest Henley (1849–1903)

    I didn’t realize you were an art collector. I thought you just collected corpses. I’ll bet you paid plenty for this little piece of sculpture. She’s worth every dollar of it, take it from me. She puts her heart into her work, in fact, her whole body.
    —Ernest Lehman (b. 1920)
