Marty Mcmahon on Poets
By ROBERT B. PECK

(("HERE has been times" remarked
Marty Mcmahon, the retired
n bartender, "when ] seen em
lined up three deep in front o. the bar
about this time o year, swearin' Oft. What
! want to know is, what's become Of all the
swear-offs that used to be made January

or was we better off when he had EN-?
1T seems to me like we was better off
when we had 'em. They was fakes. Of
course; everybody knew they was fakes,
even the birds thai. was doin' the swearin'
Off. The question is, amt it better fer
bird to kid himself fer little while that
iC he wants to swear off he can, than TO go
along never thingie' aboue mproyin, him
self at all?
81 got that line from a poet that used
to hang around the old place on Tenth
Avenue and buy round O. drinks, too,
when he sold a poem. There didn't seem
to be no great market fer his poems, but
a bird that spends all his spare time an all
his cash on Tenth Avenue can't expect 10.
be no poet laureate.
"He had too much sense to amount to
much as a poet anyhow, judgin' at least
from such poetry as I've read an heard,
which includes The Face on the Barroom

pretty wise guys speak very high Of. Most
Of il sounds like it.was written by. nuts

houses had ought TO make just as good
poetry as eathedrals, II you could find the
words to ft EN-
'Now, that was as looney talk as you
couldexpect from any up-to-date poet that
demands cash in ADVANCE before he'll write
a line. The trouble was, this bard insisted
also that poems had ought to rhyme or,
anyhow, kinda run along smooth.
ut seems that stuff is all outa date an
the birds that usta hand it out-Shakes-
peare an Tennyson an them other. for
eigners - simply showed their ignorance
an wasn't no real sports at all, as has
been proved now by the fact that poetry
hadn't oughta rhyme, an the rougher and
more splintery' .thP lines are the better
poetry it is.
"This fella done pretty good, at that, for
a time, an they got 10 calm him The
Slaughter House Poet, which pleased him
lot an sold seven or eight poems for him
after the poems got into the papers once
in connection with him accidentally catchin'
a baby that fell of fire escape.
He had sold poems two weeks in sue
cession an brought in check for another
on Saturday night an when cashed it
seen it was for $50, which is more than
any poem is worth an told him so. He
said nothing then; but after the Second
drink he told me. It seems he had sold
the poem TO a highbrow magazine an the
editor had taken it an cut the lines in half
and hitched the wrong halves together, OF
else the printer had, an there didn't no
two lines rhyme an there wasn't no two
anywhere near the same length, That was
what they paid him $40 for. =,
'He took. the money, but he said it had
Tpured him of poetry an he was goin'- 70
swear of. He done it, too, guess, fer
never seen him again on Tenth Avenue"
