NEVER MIND, by LYMAN A. FRITZ First Line: Mind your own business / and go on your way Last Line: "if you ""do"" or you ""don't." Subject(s): Critics & Criticism | ||||||||
Mind your own business And go on your way, Don't pay much attention To what people say. For they will condemn you For singing a song, For laughing out loud, Or a face that is long. If you save your money, They say you are "tight." Spend it quite freely, It still isn't right. Whatever you do, Wherever you go, There are many to say, "It should not be so." You are "damned" if you do, You are "damned" if you don't, So you get the same curse, If you "do" or you "don't." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES FREELY TAKEN FROM CALLIMACHUS by CHARLES MARTIN FORM DESTRUCTIONIST?ÇÖSCULPTOR by ROBERT MCALMON POETS AND CRITICS by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS LINES TO A DON by HILAIRE BELLOC TO A REVIEWER WHO ADMIRED MY BOOK by JOHN CIARDI SONORA DESERT POEM by LUCILLE CLIFTON THE SEVEN ARTS by ROBERT FROST IN MEMORY OF DAVID KALSTONE by ANTHONY HECHT METAMORPHOSES: 16.
