The influence
of W.C. Fields
on Virginia Wolf
is incalculable:
“Zero times Zero.”
One times One,
Minus One.
& so on …
Magnets rarely
attract water;
cigarettes & beer,
seldom kiss Saints.
Elephants infrequently
date hippopotami;
flowers hardly ever
drink paint.
Do your Worst
to do your Best;
let wicked nightmares
Sail away.
But never-ever miss
“Happy Hippo New Year,”
Even by
a day.
