Prohibition
Monday, 10 January 2011 07:46 pmProhibition is an awful flop.
We like it.
It can't stop what it's meant to stop.
We like it.
It's left a trail of graft and slime,
It don't prohibit worth a dime,
It's filled our land with vice and crime.
Nevertheless, we're for it.
--F.P.A.
(I'm not sure that's the real title, because I haven't been able to find the book it's in, and I haven't checked any of my Bartlett's yet.)
