Franklin P. Adams

Capitolo 14

Does it die because the day is hot?
Or it declares me I cannot bear
Such torrid temperature?
Both it more heat of the flames
Applications of Union of southern Gehenna,
  If it is not so to me,
  What care me as heat it is?

I say me I love the city
Done praise by Robinson and Browne?
I say me, "In the heat in summer
Cannot old Manhattan be beaten?"
Both it decoying as a bar,
Or the motor-car of my neighbour,
  If I think that it is pazziz
  What care me as excellent it is?

Me prate of the rural joys
Away from civic smoke and noise?
Me as the others the drivel
"But are the nights always fresh?"
If I hate to rise at six o'clock
Will I praise the suburbs? Reject!
  If the country is not for me,
  What care me as good person it is?

City or country, fresh or warm,
It doesn't differ anything, he doesn't care;
For to quota that Roman swearword,
Because discusses gustibus of the "de?"
If to this or that owes
Takes a desire, it is good.
  If these rhymes seem good to me,
  What care me as bad I am them?



A Quatrain


A quatrain fills a few the space,
  Even if is enough small,
And oftentimes, as in this case,
  It doesn't have quite point.



To a Donna of Light house

(Who attaches washing articles to the curtain
sequence and it glues them on the glass.)


Mrs., you that livests
  Only through the way,
If a hangs you the givest
   What you/they say the people,
If a curses you the carest
   What he/she thinks a poet--
Hearken, if you the darest,
  The most greater departs of immodest minx!

Although thy gloves you the tiest,
  To the sequence of curtain,
Although the things you more dry land
  Encircles me while I sing,
Handkerchiefs and inventions
  Of the lacy tribe--
Things that I cannot mention,
  You leave alone describes.

These for that I am standing mutely
  Although the sight offends,
This for which I reprimand;
  Pick him/it up from a friend:

Latrines to unite thy tresses
  To the windowsill of window,
Or I will say the presses--
  Honestly, I want.



As?

As I work when you play the piano,
  Female person above?
As I think, with Your incessant the voice of soprano
