There is GOD
and there are many gods
There is MAN
and there are many men
There is WOMAN
and there is very many
of what
I don't know what
to call them

The third and fourth lines
paraphrase the words
of Zelda.
Unfortunately,
I cannot find
the original source
but what she said was
When the Man
is not there,
there is always
men

is the female equivalent
of YOGI BERRA
As far as Zelda is concerned,
I am ashamed of the fact
that a fellow Long beach resident
—age thirty-something—
claims to have coigned
the term SCANDALABRA
which in fact was a theatrical play
written by Zelda and performed
only once in her lifetime,
while she was institutionalized
in the sanatorium where
she burned to death
in 1948
