Most wonderful when /
they scatter --- /
The cherry blossoms. /
In this floating world, /
does anything endure?
(Chireba-koso / Itodo sakura wa / Medetakere / Ukiyo ni nani ka / Hisashikarubeki}

Résumé, a poem by Dorothy Parker
'Resume'
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp;
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
Dorothy Parker
