The Flaw in Paganism

Last night I went to three parties, which was at least two too many. Today my head and stomach were reminded of the fantastic Dorothy Parker poem, 'The Flaw In Paganism':

Drink and dance and laugh and lie,
Love, the reeling midnight through,
For tomorrow we shall die!
(But, alas, we never do.)
