Reflection On The Fallibility Of Nemesis

by Ogden Nash

Ogden Nash

He who is ridden by a conscience
Worries about a lot of nonscience;
He without benefit of scruples
His fun and income soon quadruples.

    by Sara Teasdale
    My soul is a dark ploughed field In the cold rain; My soul is a broken field Ploughed by pain. Where grass and bending flowers Were growing, The field lies broken now For another sowing.
