If you’d asked me to illustrate spoiled milk, I never in a hundred years would have come up with the little skull and cross bones wafting from the bottle like a genie out of a lamp, genius. Is this original or has Mallett borrowed it from elsewhere?
When he wasn’t pissed off at the world, Robert Frost could really be pretty funny. Which puts him in the same category as a lot of comedians, which would probably piss him off even more.
Anyway, he wrote one of the world’s best two-liners. Wrote it so well he wrote it two different ways, if I’m getting good information. The better known one, �“Lord, forgive my little jokes on meand I’ll forgive thy great big one on me,”
and the more obscure
“Lord, forgive these little jokes of mine,and I’ll forgive this great big one of thine,”
which works just as well but sounds a little more biblical, like it was an actual request instead of something for the rest of us to enjoy. And, frankly, it’s just a wee less self-centered and victimy.
While I love both couplets, and Frost in general, I will take issue with his premise. It’s not the great big one that gets you. It’s the incessant little ones. But what rhymes with that?

If it makes you feel any better, it also hates Pig (Pearls Before Swine).

If you drank from the bottle, you deserved spoiled milk.

I hate when I pour drain cleaner on my cereal, too. At least when you pour it out, it does some good.

I love the little skull and crossbones over the deceased milk.

Looks like the opposite of Life cereal.
