Last night Quote by George Ade

“R-E-M-O-R-S-E! Those dry Martinis did the work for me; Last night at twelve I felt intense, Today I feel like thirty cents. My eyes are bleared, my coopers hot, I'll try to eat, but I cannot. It is no time for mirth and laughter, The cold, gray dawn the morning after.” quote by George Ade
