This book tells that Anita Loos
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
This book tells that Anita Loos
Is a friend of Caesar, a friend of Zeus
Of Samuel Goldwyn and Mother Goose
Of Balancinne of the Ballet Russe
Of Tillie the Viennese papoose
Of Charlie MacArthur on the loose
Of Shanks, chiropodist—What’s the use?
Of actors who have escaped the noose
Lots of Hollywood beach refuse
Comics covered with Charlotte Russe
Wretched victims of self abuse
Big producers all obtuse
This is my birthday, but what the deuce
Is that sad fact to Anita Loos
Published in A Cast of Thousands book (1977).
