I hope of lightning our supply
Will never be exhausted;
You know it's lanterns in the sky
For angels who are losted.

A door is what a dog is perpetually on the wrong side of.

Candy
Is Dandy
But liquor
Is quicker.

Every New Year is the direct descendant, isn't it, of a long line of proven criminals?

We love the kindly wind and hail,
The jolly thunderbolt,
We watch in glee the fairy trail
Of ampere, watt, and volt.

Many Long Years Ago (1945)

Man is a victim of dope
In the incurable form of hope.
