I know you think you thought you knew what you thought I said,
but I'm not sure you understood what you thought I meant.

I know you're in search of yourself, I just haven't seen you anywhere.

I lately lost a preposition;
It hid, I thought, beneath my chair
And angrily I cried, "Perdition!
Up from out of under there."

Correctness is my vade mecum,
And straggling phrases I abhor,
And yet I wondered, "What should he come
Up from out of under for?"
                -- Morris Bishop

I lay my head on the railroad tracks,
Waitin' for the double E.
The railroad don't run no more.
Poor poor pitiful me.                   [chorus]
        Poor poor pitiful me, poor poor pitiful me.
        These young girls won't let me be,
        Lord have mercy on me!
        Woe is me!

Well, I met a girl, West Hollywood,
Well, I ain't naming names.
But she really worked me over good,
She was just like Jesse James.
She really worked me over good,
She was a credit to her gender.
She put me through some changes, boy,
Sort of like a Waring blender.          [chorus]

I met a girl at the Rainbow Bar,
She asked me if I'd beat her.
She took me back to the Hyatt House,
I don't want to talk about it.          [chorus]
                -- Warren Zevon, "Poor Poor Pitiful Me"

I learned to play guitar just to get the girls, and anyone who says they
didn't is just lyin'!
                -- Willie Nelson

I like being single.  I'm always there when I need me.
                -- Art Leo

I like myself, but I won't say I'm as handsome as the bull
that kidnapped Europa.
                -- Marcus Tullius Cicero

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to
promote peace than our governments.  Indeed, I think that people want
peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of
the way and let them have it.
                -- Dwight D. Eisenhower

I like work; it fascinates me; I can sit and look at it for hours.

I like young girls.  Their stories are shorter.
                -- Tom McGuane
