a classic, dedicated to Mr. Benchley her colleague at the New Yorker (

More of parker's rather sharp little verses; many only quatrains. Some have historical references --Salome's Dancing Lesson with the end "scratch a king and find a fool" I have found very accurate for SCA kings including myself. The letter from Lesbia dismissing Catullus's famous poem on her dead pet sparrow ""The stupid fool, I've always hated birds" seems to harsh to ring true. The poem on a Spanish proverb (which is apparently "He would hive bread to the thirsty" is strikingly powerful. (

Parker's third collection of poems. This has some of her very best four line poems. Wit with a hard bite. (
