Analysis of I Feel Witty, Giddy And Gay!
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
I feel witty.
I feel giddy.
I feel witty, giddy and gay!
And quite...
'Hey.
Hey, hey, HEY!
Yeah.
You two.
Do you guys know what time it is?
Too early for that.
Nobody wants to hear that nonsense.
That truck is noisy enough.
It's too early in the morning,
To hear the garbage men singing...
About their newly discovered experiences.
Just do your job.
Pick up the garbage and leave.
Open that closet door somewhere else.
Geeessshhh.
I can't believe this.
What on Earth is going on?
Today...
It seems everybody,
Wants everybody else to know...
And publicly.
Their sexual preference.
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing,
Is kept privately to keep discreet anymore!'
