As depicted in Al Hirschfeld's famous caricature: Dorothy
Parker at the Algonquin Round Table (lower left) surrounded by Robert
Benchley, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, Frank Crowninshield, Alexander
Woollcott, Heywood Broun, Marc Connelly, Frank Case, Franklin P. Adams,
Edna Ferber, George S. Kaufman and Robert E. Sherwood. |
I ran my fingers through your hair
as you ran through Dorothy Parker's words
"Why is it that your poems don't rhyme?"
You cooed while gently twisting
the dagger in my heart.
What was it that Ms. Parker wrote?
"Scratch a lover, and find a foe."
It was in a ballad I think,
A ballad of great weariness.
