Another FPA poem

One thing FPA loved to do was rewrite a poem in the style of another poet. Here's one of my favorites.

Georgie Porgie

BY MOTHER GOOSE AND OUR OWN SARA TEASDALE

by Franklin Pierce Adams

Bennie's kisses left me cold,
Eddie's made me yearn to die,
Jimmie's made me laugh aloud,—
But Georgie's made me cry.

Bennie sees me every night,
Eddie sees me every day,
Jimmie sees me all the time,—
But Georgie stays away.
