Janet!
You have discovered one of the truly great poets of our entury.
archy sees things from underfoot, and mehitabel is one of the
great free spirits of all time.
from the end of mehitabel dances with boreas
girls we was all of us ladies
until we went and fell
and oncet a thoroughbred always game
i ask you wotthehell
it s last week up and this week down
and always the devil to pay
but cripes i was always the lady
and the word is toujours gai
be a tabby tame if you want
somebody s pussy and pet
the life i led was the life i liked
and there s pep in the old dame yet
whirl mehitabel whirl
leap shadow leap
you gotta dance til the sun comes up
for you got no place to sleep
archy
