All they said was true: I wrecked my father`s bank with my loans To dabble in wheat; but this was true — I was buying wheat for him as well, Who couldn`t margin the deal in his name Because of his church relationship. And while George Reece was serving his term I chased the will-o`-the-wisp of women, And the mockery of wine in New York. It`s deathly to sicken of wine and women When nothing else is left in life. But suppose your head is gray, and bowed On a table covered with acrid stubs Of cigarettes and empty glasses, And a knock is heard, and you know it`s the knock So long drowned out by popping corks And the pea-cock screams of demireps — And you look up, and there`s your Theft, Who waited until your head was gray, And your heart skipped beats to say to you: The game is ended. I`ve called for you. Go out on Broadway and be run over, They`ll ship you back to Spoon River.SourceThe script ran 0.001 seconds.
