Harry Graham (poet) quotes

Fell in the fire and was burnt to ashes;
Now, although the room grows chilly,
I haven't the heart to poke poor Billy. (Harry Graham (poet))

Weep not for little Leonie, Abducted by a French Marquis! Though loss of honour was a wrench, Just think how it's improved her French.

That morning, when my wife eloped With James, our chauffeur, how I moped! What tragedies in life there are! I'm dashed if I can start the car.

What hours I spent of precious time, What pints of ink I used to waste, Attempting to secure a rhyme To suit the public taste, Until I found a simple plan Which makes the lamest lyric scan!When I've a syllable de trop, I cut it off, without apol.: This verbal sacrifice, I know, May irritate the schol.; But all must praise my dev'lish cunn. Who realise that Time is Mon.

Harry Graham (poet)

When Grandmamma fell off the boat, And couldn't swim, and wouldn't float, Maria just sat by and smiled - I almost could have slapped the child!
