Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Next Imitation I Sing the song of the June bride; I sing it impartially to suffragette, vegetarian, stenographer, cubist, Armenian, dressmaker or débutante. I sing the June bride out of step to the wedding march; The thankful mother weeping copiously on her jabot; The father rejoicing as a young man to run in debt; The bridesmaids ingenuously memorizing the ritual. I sing the June bride, and as a quaint novelty in the manner of Walt Whitman I append a transient thought for the bridegroom; Rah, rah, rah! Bridegroom! I salute you, bridegroom, whether you are a namby-pamby milk lusher, or a turkey trotter, or a bull-mooser, or a singletaxer, or a deliberate and unqualified falsifier, or a curly wolf from the Back Bay, Boston, Mass. That´s me every time-that´s the kind of man I am; that´s the way I write poetry. O happy, happy day! O happy caterer, and O happy bride! 0 trebly happy occasion if no relative, no fortuitously related malefactor of great wealth was omitted from the list of invitations. I earnestly trust that no salt adulterates the ice cream; I breathe anathema against a caterpillar on the orange blossoms. I crave no false note in the hired choir, and I see no reason why these young people should not be joined asunder. O joyous day of the wedding when no reporter forgets to report the silver bon-bon forks, rarebit forks, pickle forks, cold meat forks, pudding forks, salad forks, tuning forks, dessert forks, and the inevitable art lamp shade for the living room.
