Miserable little woman in a brown coat -- quit whining! My hand for you! We'll skip down the tin cornices of Main Street flicking the dull roof-line with our toe-tips! Hop clear of the bank!

And I'll sing you the while a thing to split your sides about Johann Sebastian Bach, the father of music, who had three wives and twenty-two children. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CANONIZATION by JOHN DONNE THE UNSUNG HEROES by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR COMPLAINT OF THE ABSENCE OF HER LOVER BEING UPON THE SEA by HENRY HOWARD THE HIGH TIDE AT GETTYSBURG [JULY 3, 1863] by WILL HENRY THOMPSON A HOUSE IN FESTUBERT by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN INSCRIPTION IN NETHER STOREY CHURCH IN MEMORY OF RICHARD CAMPLIN by WILLIAM LISLE BOWLES REMEMBRANCE by MARGARET E.
