Is it, then, your opinion
Women are putty in your hands?
Is this the face to launch upon
A thousand one night stands?

More quotes by W. D. Snodgrass
The sleek, expensive girls I teach,
Younger and pinker every year,
Bloom gradually out of reach.
You must call up every strength you own
And you can rip off the whole facial mask.
Ah, what avails the tenure race,
Ah, what the Ph.D.,
When all departments have a place
For nincompoops like thee?
Have you subversive, out of date,
Or controversial ideas?
I have not learned how often I
Can win, can love, but choose to die.
