A Poet´s Conversation

O. Wilde:
I admit, dear Mr. Cooper, they’re no savages at all
These tales are simple true and honest
Though poetic to the core
Though poetic to the core of a song

J. F. Cooper:
Nothing lives long, Mr. Wilde, only the mountains and the earth
Take this little Cheyenne tune
Did we ever write such a line
Did we ever write such a perfect little line

O. Wilde:
Let us talk about this later on
I should like a go-between
Catskill Mountain House is famous
Famous for its haute cuisine

Many thanks to P. T. Barnum he’s a connoisseur by birth
Please imagine Mr. Cooper
