Reuben's Children

Accursed from their birth they be
Who seek to find monogamy,
Pursuing it from bed to bedI

Dorothy Parker was an American poet, short story writer, critic, and satirist, celebrated for her sharp wit and cynical observations. A founding member of the Algonquin Round Table, she became a prominent voice in early 20th-century American literature. Her work, often characterized by its brevity and poignant irony, explored themes of love, loss, and societal hypocrisy, cementing her reputation as a master of the epigram and a keen social commentator.
