    Default Dorothy Parker

    Dorothy Parker is my favourite poet. (Actually, she's the only poet I have much regard for.) This is a snippet from a recent article.

    Of her many famous comebacks, the best known was arguably when she was challenged to use the word 'horticulture' in a sentence.

    'You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think,' she speedily retorted.
