Dorothy Parker - Ballade Of Unfortunate Mammals
Work rating: Medium

Love is sharper than stones or sticks;
  Lone as the sea, and deeper blue;
Loud in the night as a clock that ticks;
  Longer-lived than the Wandering Jew.
Show me a love was done and through,
  Tell me a kiss escaped its debt!
Son, to your death you`ll pay your due-
  Women and elephants never forget.

Ever a man, alas, would mix,
  Ever a man, heigh-ho, must woo;
So he`s left in the world-old fix,
  Thus is furthered the sale of rue.
Son, your chances are thin and few-
  Won`t you ponder, before you`re set?
Shoot if you must, but hold in view
  Women and elephants never forget.

Down from Caesar past Joynson-Hicks
  Echoes the warning, ever new:
Though they`re trained to amusing tricks,
  Gentler, they, than the pigeon`s coo,
Careful, son, of the curs`ed two-
  Either one is a dangerous pet;
Natural history proves it true-
  Women and elephants never forget.

        L`ENVOI

Prince, a precept I`d leave for you,
  Coined in Eden, existing yet:
Skirt the parlor, and shun the zoo-
  Women and elephants never forget.
