"Make The World A Much Finer Place" ... With One Profanity

________________________________________________________________________________________________


If people only came right out
and called each other
an s.o.b.
when they were just that.
 
It would make the world
a much finer place.
 
It was these martyrs,
these silent sufferers,
these decent, fine people,
these chin-uppers
 that gave selfishness
and crime
 a head start.

DAWN POWELL

  1. Say it loud 'cuz I'm corrupted and I'm proud...
    Oliverio corrupted me with all his pages about DAWN POWELL:
    I had to read Turn, Magic Wheel and was utterly
    shocked with delight that—in 1936—someone could have
    written so many things that I have since read 101 times.

    For all intents and purposes, that is how many authors
    have plagiarized DAWN POWELL.
