First Line: "he wrote a sordid novel, full"
Last Line: How very true to life!'
Subject(s): Writing & Writers
He wrote a sordid novel, full
Of dirt, and dull despair,
And cornbeef hash, and dreary wives,
And homes oppressed by care --
And all the little flappers, far
Removed from pain and strife,
Devoured the book, and all agreed,
"How very true to life!"
