but I shall stay the
way I am because I … I
do not give a damn
OBSERVATION
If I don’t drive around the park,
I’m pretty sure to make my mark.
If I’m in bed each night by ten,
I may get back my looks again,
If I abstain from fun and such,
I’ll probably amount to much,
But I shall stay the way I am,
Because I do not give a damn.
As printed in Enough Rope by Dorothy Parker
