CafÉ Comedy
by Robert William Service

She

I'm waiting for the man I hope to wed.
I've never seen him - that's the funny part.
I promised I would wear a rose of red,

And Oh such heaps and heaps of silly lies. . .
So when we meet what will he think of me?

Manuelzinho
by Elizabeth Bishop

Half squatter, half tenant (no rent)—

cap, but too small. Napoleon led such a hectic life ever since his
childhood, even farther back than that, that he never had a

There Was An Old Poop From Poughkeepsie
by John Updike

There was an old poop from Poughkeepsie,
Who tended, at night, to be tipsy.
Said he, ''My last steps
Aren't propelled by just Schweppes! '' -
That peppy old poop from Poughkeepsie.
