Who reads? What you have?

Richard Cory

By Edwin Arlington Robinson

Whenever Richard Cory went down town,

We people on the pavement looked at him:

He was a gentleman from sole to crown,

Clean favored, and imperially slim.

 

And he was always quietly arrayed,

And he was always human when he talked;

But still he fluttered pulses when he said,

"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.

 

And he was rich—yes, richer than a king—

And admirably schooled in every grace:

In fine, we thought that he was everything

To make us wish that we were in his place.

 

So on we worked, and waited for the light,

And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;

And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,

Went home and put a bullet through his head.

Tombstone Poetry:

 

" Beneath this stone a virgin lies 

  for her life held no terrors 

  born a virgin, died a virgin 

  no hits, no runs, no errors."

Turkeys




Turkeys swinging in the trees,
some by their necks and some by their knees.
You can hear them screaming.
You can hear them freaking.
Get those turkeys.
Get those turkeys.
Get those turkeys in the trees. Edited December 15, 2018 by Huaco Kid
