A Quotation from Mark Twain

The only quote I ever want to be affixed to me
Is “Never pay for virtue when a vice is offered free.”
I kinda like the ring of it, although it don’t make sense.
It makes me sound a cynic who is through with all pretence.
I’ll send it first to Hallmark, then I’ll try MAD Magazine --
Between the two of them I ought to see a little green.
But if no one will buy it, still my work is not in vain --
I’ll put it on a t-shirt with a picture of Mark Twain.
