EFFICIENCY EXPERT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Through dreamy eyes she gazed into the night
Last Line: "shall we dance?"
Subject(s): Heaven; Paradise


Through dreamy eyes she gazed into the night
And murmured this, "Some day I'll buy an isle
Out there...." (The sweeping gesture of her arm
Took in a generous portion of the world.)
"Some place that you and I can call Our Paradise;
Where life will be as simple as
In Eden; where all things will be --"

"But, dear,"
He spoke with genuine concern, "Now who'll
Deliver all our groceries? And what
About a Frigidaire? And as for lights
We could resort to lamps, I guess, but who
Would fill them up with oil and trim the wicks;
And ... Dear, in short, why I foresee all sorts
Of difficulties!"
"So do I," she muttered.
"Shall we dance?"
