Frustration Poem by Dorothy Parker
Frustration
If I had a shiny gun,
I could have a world of fun
Speeding bullets through the brains
Of the folk who give me pains;
Or had I some poison gas,
I could make the moments pass
Bumping off a number of
People whom I do not love.
But I have no lethal weapon-
Thus does Fate our pleasure step on!
So they still are quick and well
Who should be, by rights, in hell.
Ah, the lovely Dorothy Parker. Great critic and not a bad poet too.Have her complete works. A box of sparkling jewels. Love this poem
Love it! I have always said the best thing about writing fiction is that you can kill people without going to jail. I guess that's true with poetry too - why not. LOL
Dorothy Parker had enormous humour and always speaks honest words about what she thinks, crystal clearly composed Top Marks!
Very precise demonstration of 'frustration' The analogy of war weapons is also accurate
