A commentary on life in the 21st century? First published in the Saturday Evening Post (USA), 1949.

THIS IS THE AGE
OF THE HALF-READ PAGE
AND THE QUICK HASH
AND THE MAD DASH.
THE BRIGHT NIGHT
WITH THE NERVES TIGHT.
THE PLANE HOP
WITH THE BRIEF STOP.
THE LAMP TAN
IN A SHORT SPAN.
THE BIG SHOT
IN A GOOD SPOT.
AND THE BRAIN STRAIN,
THE HEART PAIN,
AND THE CATNAPS
TILL THE SPRING SNAPS--
AND THE FUN'S DONE!
