New Zealanders have an excellent expression: "Take a couple of concrete pills and harden up."


Eskimos Have a Taste for Blubber; I Don't

My shoulder's cold. I have no use
For candor. It's not art to me.
I'm sorry that your life is sad,
But couplets spelling out complaints
Don't always make for poetry,
And that is what I've come here
For. I hope that you feel better
Soon, but warn you that this
Shoulder, onto which you wish
Drop your tears, is not a very
Welcome place. I told you;
It is cold.
