Oh my Dorothy!

I'm a fan of witty, sardonic poetry.  It makes me feel a bit less lonely to know that somewhere, at some point, some poor slob was just as annoyed with the world in general as I am at this particular moment.  

My favorite is the gloriously articulate Dorothy Parker, queen of the Algonquin Round Table.  

Today, I ran across this particular gem that seems to relate nicely to my current mood/situation:


Experience

Some men break your heart in two,
Some men fawn and flatter,
Some men never look at you;
And that cleans up the matter.


A toast to you, Madam Dorothy, and our equally lamentable experiences with men.
