I've always loved Archy and Mehitabel. Here's an excerpt from 'the song of archy and mehitabel':
'my youth i shall never forget
but there s nothing i really regret
wotthehell wotthehell
there s a dance in the old dame yet
toujours gai toujours gai
the things that i had not ought to
i do because i ve gotto
wotthehell wotthehell
and i end with my favorite motto
toujours gai toujours gai
boss sometimes i think
that our friend mehitabel
is a trifle too gay'
I use one of Archy's maxims as a signature on some boards:
'An idea isn't responsible for the people who believe in it.'
By the way, Archy had a good excuse for his lack of punctuation, as he had to bang out his poems on a typewriter with his head, poor dab.
Regards, Maz
