Reminds of Vachel Lindsay's poem:
Factory windows are always broken.
Somebody's always throwing bricks,
Somebody's always heaving cinders,
Playing ugly Yahoo tricks.
Factory windows are always broken.
Other windows are let alone.
No one throws through the chapel-window
The bitter, snarling, derisive stone.
Factory windows are always broken.
Something or other is going wrong.
Something is rotten--I think, in Denmark.
End of factory-window song!
Does the window factory have a bunch of broken stones?
Johnny,If you don't quit messin' with that darn fool BB gun, you'll put you eye out.
