AN INVOCATION BEFORE ETHER Now I lay me down to doze With the ether up my nose, And I pray that I may keep A ladylike and sober sleep. Never mind if I should tell The doctors all to go to . . . Or if he who hears discovers, Names of non-existent lovers, Never mind if I should sing, Tho' that's as bad as anything, But heaven keep me should I quote The last remembered anecdote- A story that was told to me Strictly confidentially, And that might prove much too warm In unexpurgated form- The kind one shouldn't like, and still Listens to, against one's will, And then in an unconscious state Is very likely to relate NVith all the literary zeal That a purist can reveal. So I pray no fumes condition This, my weakest inhibition, And that I may safely keep My mind awake while Im asleep. ODE TO AN APPENDIX Oh Vermiform!-Oh Appendix-Oh Appendix Vermiforml Long hast thou remained within me, Deep within the dark limitless cavern of mine abdomen. For years thou hast reminded me of thy presence, By recurrent attacks upon my otherwise excellent health. Thou hast cast thy sinister shadow over my festal boards, Dooming me to days and days of soft diet and gallons of mineral oil Long have I evaded thine encroachment upon my physical being, Until I, at last, bloody but un-bowed, Fell under the surgeon's glittering steel. But now thou are out, thou worm! Thou scum of anatomical structures, the swine Thou useless bit of tissue-thou hast passed, Into the realms of oblivion and the pathalogical laboratory. 42
