A Friend of Mine

William Carlos Williams

From “Broken Windows”

WELL, Lizzie Anderson! seventeen men—and

The baby hard to find a father for!

What will the good father in heaven say

To the local judge if he do not solve this problem?

Does one with a little two-pointed smile

Change the law—pouff!—into a mouthful of phrases?
