Dorothy Parker Week Day One*

A Very Short Song

Once, when I was young and true,
Someone left me sad-
Broke my brittle heart in two;
And that is very bad.

Love is for unlucky folk,
Love is but a curse.
Once there was a heart I broke;
And that, I think, is worse.

* Why is it Dorothy Parker week? Because I said so, that's why.
