I'm just short of madness.

If only I was a March Hare.

Then I'd be full-mad.

Instead of just half-mad.

I want you to remember that no one ever won a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

The Lady's-Maid's Song By John Hollander

When Adam found his rib was gone
He cursed and sighed and cried and swore
And looked with cold resentment on
The creature God had used it for.
All love's delights were quickly spent
And soon his sorrows multiplied:
He learned to blame his discontent
On something stolen from his side.

And so in every age we find
Each Jack, destroying every Joan,
Divides and conquers womankind
In vengeance for his missing bone.
By day he spins out quaint conceits
With gossip, flattery, and song,
But then at night, between the sheets,
He wrongs the girl to right the wrong.

Though shoulder, bosom, lip, and knee
Are praised in every kind of art,
Here is love's true anatomy:
His rib is gone; he'll have her heart.
So women bear the debt alone
And live eternally distressed,
For though we throw the dog his bone
He wants it back with interest.

Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are It might have been.' (Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.)
