Thanks for the memory, Doc! Those last lines you quoted are from the Patchen poem you assigned me in Spring '93. Ah yes, I remember it well:

"Shoot son, even if I could dance,/ There are a lot of better ways to have a ball/Than scraping the hair off your own head."

This is a Patchen piece, one heard over and over on hot nights in the Theater Barn.  Remember the one you did? , "Because sometimes, you can't always be so," with "Talk about patriotism" and "Mother Fritchie," and "Shoot son, even if I could dance,/ There are a lot of better ways to have a ball/Than scraping the hair off your own head."

And much better than butchering "Green Eggs and Ham" in the Senate.
Very lovely Doc. I will look it up.
Take care,

"So the door closed; the rain closed,
The sun closed; also, the moon, a jar
Of raisin pudding, the first of October,
And half a raccoon.  Now, alas there was
Nothing left except the world; and nobody
In his right mind expects the world
To do anything now except close."

The Pensive Rabbit
