If I had a shiny gun I could have a world of fun Speeding bullets through the brains Of the folk who give me pains Or had I some poison gas I could make the moments pass Bumping off a number of People whom I do not love. But I have no legal weapon-- Thus does Fate our pleasure step on! So they still are quick and well Who should be, by rights, in hell.

Frustation by Dorothy Parker (1893-1967)
If I had a shiny gun I could have a world of fun Speeding bullets through the brains Of the folk who give me pains Or had I some poison gas I could make the moments pass Bumping off a number of People whom I do not love. But I have no legal weapon-- Thus does Fate our pleasure step on! So they still are quick and well Who should be, by rights, in hell.
One of my favourite wits of all time.
