Love under the Republicans (Or Democrats) <br /> <br /> Ogden Nash <br /> (1902-1971) <br /> <br /> <br />Come live with me and be my love <br />And we will all the pleasures prove <br />Of a marriage conducted with economy <br />In the Twentieth Century Anno Donomy. <br />We’ll live in a dear little walk-up flat <br />With practically room to swing a cat <br />And a potted cactus to give it hauteur <br />And a bathtub equipped with dark brown water. <br />We’ll eat, without undue discouragement, <br />Foods low in cost but high in nouragement <br />And quaff with pleasure, while chatting wittily, <br />The peculiar wine of Little Italy. <br />We’ll remind each other it’s smart to be thrifty <br />And buy our clothes for something-fifty. <br />We’ll bus for miles on holidays <br />For seas at depressing matinees, <br />And every Sunday we’ll have a lark <br />And take a walk in Central Park. <br />And one of these days not too remote <br />You’ll probably up and cut my throat.<br /><br />shakira taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-under-the-republicans-or-democrats/
